Chapter 596: Demon Fire Cage
On the night of the fifth day, he finally sat near Mu Xingqiu again, put down a handful of firewood, lit it with fire in his mouth, took out two cakes, and divided one after baking them warm.
Mu Xingqiu took the dough and ate it silently, he was relatively hungry recently, he had been hungry in just a few days, he carried a large number of magic weapons and pills, but there was no food.
There are mountains all around, and when you climb over one, there is another horizontally in front of you, and you don't know when it will end.
"Don't you miss the days of eating grass?" Mu Xingqiu finished eating a piece of bread and felt much better, this is the food given by the Fu Gang guests, it is rough and hard, but if you chew it slowly, you can eat a trace of sweetness.
Jin Tuan only ate half of it, thought for a while and said: "This is the most important reason why we didn't like to change into human form before, to become a human has to eat human food, but in our memory, grass and beans are more delicious, but people can't eat it." β
Jin Tuan swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty, and handed the remaining half of the cake to Mu Xingqiu.
Mu Xingqiu didn't push, he was thinking about Jintuan's words, "Memory is power." β
"Huh?"
"Yi Shijun said that 'memory is power', and I wonder how this sentence should be understood. β
Jin Tuan didn't squeak, he didn't like to think, so he stared at the fire, occasionally throwing in a piece of wood, as if he was contemplating, but in fact he was observing, "Someone is following us." β
Mu Xingqiu nodded while eating the cake, "It's been three days, he is very cautious, he never gets too close, I don't want to startle the snake, I will set a trap and capture him alive." β
"Are you ready?" Jin Tuan was visibly surprised.
Mu Xingqiu pointed to his head, "The power of memory." β
Jin Tuan frowned, in comparison, he would rather see Mu Xingqiu slam his fist.
Mu Xingqiu laughed a few times. "Memory is indeed a kind of power, for example, you spirit demons, because you still remember the deliciousness of grass and beans, so you are reluctant to turn into human form for a long time, this is the power, it binds you to the past, more effective than the orders of Qi Supreme or Dao Tong. β
Jin Tuan's brows furrowed more and more, reminding Mu Xingqiu of the only few days of his reading career when he was a child, and his expression in front of Mr. Qin at that time was probably like this, trying to understand but it was like listening to a book from heaven.
But Mu Xingqiu is not Mr. Qin. So instead of getting angry, he continued: "Another example is this stalker behind us, in my memories of the past three days, he has exposed some small habits, and I want to set a trap based on this, who can say that this is not a kind of power? It's like two people fighting, fists are certainly a kind of power, but so is vision. β
Jin Tuan understood a little, and he asked, "What is the power of memory in you? It's all the memories, you didn't use them for fighting, you ......"
Jin Tuan wanted to speak and stopped, and Mu Xingqiu continued for him. "It's about giving up and running away. β
The flames faded, and the brocade added firewood to it, Mu Xingqiu picked up a branch and gently flicked it, "Memory is a kind of power." It can defeat enemies, but it can also crush its master. All the powers are the same, that's why the Taoist priests have so many precepts. In order to be able to withstand the most powerful power, if you can't withstand it, it will be a calamity and a demon. β
Jin Tuan was confused again, he only felt that his strength was not enough, but he never felt that he would be crushed.
"Yi Shijun has more memories than any other Taoist priest, but he hasn't been crushed, why is that?" Mu Xingqiu had already fallen into muttering to himself, turning his head to look at the flea in the distanceβit had eaten gold and silver shavings and ran around to vent its excess energy, and the loss of memory seemed to make it more powerful.
Probably only Zuo Liuying and Yi Shi Jun can explain these contradictory phenomena clearly, Mu Xingqiu smiled bitterly, feeling that he was wasting his time, he should do his best to get out of the mountains, and then force the crystal eye to come out, if the clues on Yi Shi Jun's side are also interrupted, he has to go to the imperial capital again and start investigating from scratch.
In the middle of the night, Mu Xingqiu stood up, "I need a little blood from you." β
"What? good...... All right. Although confused, Jin Tuan reluctantly agreed.
"Turn back, boy. Mu Xingqiu said loudly that he was going to put on a show for the stalker.
Jin Tuan got up slowly, shook his head firmly, acting more seriously than Mu Xingqiu, maybe he didn't think this was acting, "I can't just go back empty-handed." β
"Then I'll give you something. β
Mu Xingqiu raised his fist.
Jin Tuan is the most powerful spirit demon, but his combat power is far inferior to that of a flea, and he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face after a few moves, but his unconvinced strength was not weak at all, and he got up when he fell, looking for an opportunity to fight back with a cold face.
Mu Xingqiu felt that enough was enough, stepped on the fire extinguisher, grabbed a handful of snow to wipe off a little blood on his fingers, and continued to move forward.
He's been heading northwest these days, in fact, it's not the direction he's chosen, it's the flea, and as long as Mu Xingqiu changes course, it would rather give up the food than follow. It was impossible to force the fleas to walk together, and no matter how much gold and silver dust it ate, its two red eyes never let their guard down.
After a while, Jin Tuan followed, walking beside Mu Xingqiu, he had already roughly figured out what was going on, and asked after more than ten miles: "Where is the trap?"
"Right behind us. Mu Xingqiu said casually, while fighting with Jintuan and stepping on the fire extinguisher, he had already hidden a few magic weapons, "In the past three days, this stalker has always observed the place where we have stayed for a while, so he will definitely step into the trap I set." β
"I never noticed that. β
"I also slowly recalled, he was far away from us, but every time we stopped to rest, he always followed after a while, it must have been observation. β
Jin Tuo rarely showed a little admiration, "There is a reason why the Taoist priests chose you as the leader. β
Mu Xingqiu laughed, "The weak are like vines, they always like to cling to the strong, and they never ask the strong if they are willing, they think that as long as they make a gesture of obedience, they have paid enough price." Sometimes, when they realize that they may have chosen the wrong person, they immediately split a part of the branch and quietly entangle it with the stronger person. β
Jin Tuan's face flushed, Mu Xingqiu's words seemed to be talking about the demon clan, in Bingcheng and Wolf Plain, they were deceived and tried to rescue Yi Shijun on the surface of repaying their kindness. In fact, why not keep a hand for yourself? Yi Shijun is more powerful, and his contact with the demon clan is also deeper, and he is indeed a more ideal "climbing object".
"The Taoist priests didn't betray you. "Jin Tuan doesn't know much about what happened inside the Taoist priest, and he hasn't heard of Meng Xu's affairs.
Mu Xingqiu just sneered, most of the demon invasion Taoist priests were still around him at that time, because they didn't think that Yi Shijun was stronger, only Meng Xu believed in the bewitchment of the demon of the souls.
"It's not about betrayal, I'm not the strongest, naturally I can't get the most followers, it's as simple as that. It's just that I was too stupid in the past, and I always thought that I had some kind of responsibility, and I always thought that I could create a miracle. In fact, the so-called responsibility is nothing more than a flag that a stronger person forcibly stuffed into my hand, or it is placed there, passers-by take it casually, others laugh at it, only I am stupid to take it seriously, thinking that if I don't pick up this flag, the world will be ruined. β
Although Mu Xingqiu is walking. Leaving almost no footprints in the snow, he walks fast, and when it comes to annoyance, he walks even faster. "It was a trap, and I stepped into it, regardless of how long I could carry that flag, and it was called a miracle. I did what others didn't dare to do and didn't disdain, not what I couldn't do. β
"You've protected a lot of people, and it's a real miracle. "Jin Tuan is not good at words. It took a long time to say such a sentence.
"There are more people who die because of me, the key is what's the point of protecting these people? All of them are under the control of the strongest, we are all playing the game of ants, protecting some people, killing some people, can we change anything in the end? The Dao system will still hide, the demons will still return, either this side or that side, sooner or later it will run over our heads. If you want me to say, run away separately, at least not let the demons or the Dao all crush to death at once. β
Jin Tuan thought seriously for a while, "You make a lot of sense, I also know that there are so many strong people in this world, and I don't even have the qualifications to be among them, but ......"
"No, but!" Mu Xingqiu suddenly stopped and shouted, if he had the opportunity to speak to himself in the past, he would be in this stern tone now, "Sooner or later, you will understand that what the spirit demon likes is only you who can fight and fight and stand out for them, do you think this is your responsibility? This is the shackles on your body!"
Jin Tuan stubbornly looked back, "It's not all like that, the Spirit King ...... you"
Mu Xingqiu snorted, turned around and flew quickly in the direction he came, he was about to check the trap he had set.
The flea is still galloping in the mountains, but it often circles in a needless circle, and Mu Xingqiu can still catch up with it.
As soon as the day dawned, the fire that had been trampled out burned again, more vigorously than before, and the firewood had long since turned to ashes, but it jumped merrily like a unicorn full of gold and silver dust.
It's a cage of flames.
In addition to the Mind Illusion Technique, Mu Xingqiu has learned very few Dao Tong spells, and this trick does not come from the Eighteen Sects of Dao Sect, it is a demon art.
Mu Xingqiu has been studying the memories of Yi Shijun, walking non-stop in the vast snow-capped mountains, this is his greatest pastime, although he has not found any useful clues about Yelin Town, but he has seen a lot of interesting witchcraft.
Yi Shijun has unearthed many ancient demon arts, and also invented some, as long as any demon clan can get one or two, they will be grateful, but Mu Xingqiu can pick it at will, but it takes time to filter those vast ordinary memories.
Mu Xingqiu has no demonic power, but when he casts demonic arts, it is very easy, the only thing he can't produce is sacrifices, and the little blood of the brocade solves this problem.
Mu Xingqiu stared at the flames, and began to feel that demonism was also quite useful, since he didn't want to rebuild the inner dan, he should spend more energy on demonism.
"Who are you, what are you doing with me?" Mu Xingqiu slowly put away the flames, revealing the prey inside.
A face that showed pain because of the flames, but desperately squeezed out a happy smile, "It's me, Brother Xiaoqiu." β
Mu Xingqiu's heart was broken.
