Chapter 385: The Prince's Trick

The flame of mutiny in the imperial capital has not been completely extinguished, but the Daoguan area has become deserted in advance, and the low-level Taoist priests are not interested in the great changes that have occurred among mortals, and there is another kind of fire burning in their hearts - the Dao fire of slaying demons and destroying demons. In order to confirm how strong this fire was, they returned to their Dao Tong one after another, pondered quietly, and persuaded Dao friends by the way, and after a month, if they were still firm in their choice, they would quit Dao Tong and come to the Imperial Capital to participate in the Demon Slaying Meeting.

There are already people who have made a solemn promise to Mu Xingqiu that they will definitely come back, there are not many such people, more than thirty, they either feel that they owe favors, or some relatives and friends died at the hands of demon soldiers, and they are eager for revenge.

The Taoist priest of Pangshan also left, Yang Qingyin felt that she didn't need to think about it at all, but she wanted to bring more Taoist priests back, "The Demon Slaying Association is not prosperous enough, it would be good if these five hundred people could come back two hundred, we have to persuade more people to join." ”

Shen Hao and Xiao Qingtao also returned to the mountain for the same reason.

Mu Xingqiu had to stay in the imperial capital and draw up an agreement with Shen Jixian, which gave the status of the Demon Slayer Society, but also exerted heavy pressure, and a mistake in an inconspicuous detail could bring endless disputes, so both sides attached great importance to it, discussing word by word, not letting go of any possible ambiguity.

There were more than a dozen Shen Daoists behind Shen Jixian, and there was only one Xin Youtao by Mu Xingqiu's side.

Xin Youtao had just escaped from danger and was still in the process of recovering, so he did not participate much in the coup d'Γ©tat in the imperial capital, and spent most of his time staying in the Pangshan Daoguan, staying with Mu Xingqiu to help him consider the text. In many cases, he even takes the lead and makes ideas directly, he is indeed much better at this kind of thing than Mu Xingqiu.

He brought the princess to thank her, she was okay and was not threatened by the assassins, but the killing of the imperial grandson had a great impact on her and the kingdom of Saijie, and even made the coup d'Γ©tat that had just taken place confusing.

"It's complicated. Xin Youtao poured himself and Mu Xingqiu a cup of tea respectively, "We all know that Liang Shiji and Huangsun are soul changers. But the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the city did not know. The two played so well that Liang Shiji and Fu Meng had a quarrel in front of the eunuchs, and Liang Shiji claimed that he could not let the imperial power fall into the hands of a woman, and that he had to kill the imperial grandson for the sake of the Holy Fu Dynasty - he did say so. Let that woman not be the future queen. ”

Xin Youtao sighed. He and Mu Xingqiu had just finished discussing the text of the agreement. "This is my sister's current situation, the coup was successful." She has become an embarrassing person, and the big wedding has not yet taken place, so she is not even the widow of the emperor's grandson. Most of the main forces of this coup d'Γ©tat were members of the imperial family and supporters of the imperial family, and my sister lost her status as the crown princess, and she lost her binding force on them. ”

"How is she going to deal with it?" Mu Xingqiu was relieved, the princess was hit, which just showed that she had not been changed souls, and there was no place for her in the future power system conceived by the soul changer.

"I don't know yet, maybe find another heir to the throne to marry, with her current status, she can marry whoever she wants, the key is to look at the attitude of Fu Hao's people, if they support it, if they don't support it...... Alas, then my sister's years of business will be in vain. ”

Xin Youtao lowered his head and thought for a while, compared to Dao Tong, he still cared more about his sister's career, "But there is also a little benefit, my sister doesn't have to marry Fu Meng, the body of the emperor and grandson hides the soul of an old guy in it, it feels disgusting when you think about it, he is hundreds of years old, right?"

Xin Youtao has experienced a soul change, so he feels particularly disgusted by this kind of thing, "I really can't imagine that the powerful Qu family turned out to be just a target, and the real people in power are those who seem to be weak." I only saw the emperor once, and he couldn't stand up, so he had to be carried by four eunuchs. I usually see the chief great talisman master, looking at his appearance, it seems that he can be scared to death by a mouse, as long as it is an official document sent by Qu Xungui, he doesn't even look at it and stamps it on it, for fear that it will be a little later. ”

Xin Youtao muttered to himself, still feeling incredulous, "So the two people who are lying on the bed now and can't move or speak are actually not the old emperor and the chief, but two completely unrelated people. ”

He shuddered, remembering the days when he was groggy, when his soul was probably trapped in the old emperor's body, and he did not feel the glory of the emperor at all, but was immersed in one dream after another, and since he had regained his freedom, he had not closed his eyes, he was afraid of dreaming again, and he would not wake up.

"Promise me one thing. Xin Youtao suddenly became stern.

"What's the matter?"

"If I happen to strange things again, you kill me immediately, don't hesitate, I'd rather die than experience another separation of body and soul. ”

Mu Xingqiu looked at Xin Youtao, "If it's me, I'll try my best to find out those seven people and never suffer in the future." ”

"Hey, hey. Xin Youtao laughed twice, and found that Mu Xingqiu was not joking, he also gave birth to fighting spirit, "That's right, they just know how to change souls, and they don't have the powerful spells of high-level Taoists, why should I be afraid of them? Find them out, and then catch them all...... To be honest, in fact, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, the soul exchange has no effect on the Dao System and the Demon Slaying Society. ”

"They hold the secrets of Wildwood. ”

"It's just possible. Xin Youtao said calmly, "Shen Hao is about to go crazy about this matter, you have to stay calm, Qu Xungui is obviously sowing discord." He may know a little about the Soul Changer and know that their defeat is their handiwork, so he deliberately guides you to avenge him. Don't let him fool you. And my sister won't admit defeat, she can keep herself safe and defeat these seven enemies hiding in the shadows. ”

"I re-read the records of the Taoist system. Strictly speaking, Mu Xingqiu thought about it again, and he recorded the demon seeds that Fang Fang had found in the past and sorted them out in his mind, "I found a very interesting thing, the previous demon seed invasions, if they didn't rush out of the land of the demons, there would be no disappearance, once they entered the vassal states and the Holy Fu Dynasty, after being surrounded and suppressed by the Longbin Society, almost always a part of the human race disappeared inexplicably." ”

"Because there are no humans in the land of demons, perhaps the demon seed is only interested in humans. Xin Youtao guessed.

"Not true. In Yelin Town, I have seen the demon species parasitize on the demon race, and the demon race is no different from humans in their eyes. How powerful the demon spell that can make thousands of people disappear should be, how could the Dao Tong not care? All the books just record this kind of event, never explain it, and no one in the Forbidden Secret Department studies it, isn't it strange that Zuo Liuying cares so much about the demon seed stealing the true illusion, but is not interested in these strange disappearance events at all? The demon seed that can make hordes of humans disappear. Why stretch out a giant hand to grab the real illusion?"

To missing loved ones. Mu Xingqiu didn't care as much as Shen Hao on the surface, but he thought more in his heart, he raised a finger, "There is only one reasonable explanation." Demon Seed has no ability to make people disappear. The person who has this kind of ability is the Longbin Club. It's the seven soul changers. ”

Xin Youtao thought for a while, "But Qu Xungui is not a soul changer at all, but he went to Yelin Town. ”

"He's the one who does the work. The soul changer wouldn't tell him his true purpose, but Qu Xungui must have guessed something, which is why he was particularly interested in the experiences of a few of us at that time. ”

"What did Qu Xungui guess?" Xin Youtao asked confusedly, "Since I was replaced, my brain doesn't seem to be enough. ”

"I guess the soul changer needs someone who has been invaded by the demon seed to maintain the soul exchange technique and ensure his immortality, which is also the thing that Qu Xungui cares about the most, but he failed to understand all the secrets, and finally cooperated with the demon clan. ”

Xin Youtao's brows furrowed into two deep furrows, and then he nodded, "Listening to you say that, it really makes sense, so you must find seven soul changers." ”

"Yes. ”

"I see, I should be happy, because then we are helping each other, not me asking you for help. ”

"You wanted to ask me for help?"

Xin Youtao smiled, "The original plan was to ask for your help, because I don't think your reason for capturing the soul changer is not enough, just because of Qu Xungui's words before he died, to set up a group of secret enemies for himself? But after listening to your words, I was relieved. Haha, I noticed no, I also used a trick to retreat as advance, deliberately saying that you don't have to care about the soul changer, but I didn't expect you to take the bait too quickly, I didn't even hang the bait, and you bit it. Since it's to help each other, I don't have to ask for it, I owe you a bunch of favors that haven't been paid yet, and I don't want to add another one. ”

Mu Xingqiu also smiled, it was always a very interesting thing to see Xin Youtao perform tricks.

Xin Youtao became interested and continued: "The longer you live, the more you will cherish your life, these seven soul changers are no exception, there is more than one person who works for them, starting from here, you may be able to figure out why the residents of Yelin Town disappeared and where they went." ”

"That's the bait you prepared, right?"

"Hehe, this bait is not fully ready, Long Bin will kill a lot of talisman masters, and many records have also been destroyed by the fire, now it seems that it is likely that the soul changer deliberately arranged it. But they are mortals after all, there are always omissions, I promise to find one or two talisman masters who have been to the land of demon seed invasion within three days, as for letting them speak, it's up to you. ”

Xin Youtao suddenly put away his smile, "You should go and see my sister, there are more places for the two of you to help each other, looking for soul changers, building a demon slaying army, and asking for supplies from the Dragon Bin Society, she can help you." ”

"What can I help her?" Mu Xingqiu had always kept this matter in mind, the use was mutual, and the help was mutual, so he was not surprised at all by the conditions put forward by the high Taoist priests, so he wanted to ask the princess what she hoped for.

"A lot, when your army is established, it will be the most powerful force among mortals, even stronger than the Longbin Society, with your support, the Fu royal family will be much more honest, and it will be easy for my sister to marry the heir to the throne." ”

"Well, I'll be able to see her in a few days. ”

"Why bother in a few days? The shape of the moment is changing rapidly, you have to do everything as soon as possible, why don't you just do it tonight, Pan Sanye has already arranged it, it is the place he invited you to go to last time. Xin Youtao grinned, and did not hide his joy at all at the success of the "trick".
