Chapter 418: A Non-Demon with a Tail Out
Lao Bang still can't accept the fact that a half-demon who is very likely to become a good brother is actually a Taoist priest pretending. He strode out of the tent and stood at the door, unable to calm down for a long time, his mood gradually changed from dazed and shocked to shame and indignation, and he turned around abruptly and said loudly, "How can you be a Taoist priest? You are not human at all." β
Mu Xingqiu had just walked out of the tent, although everyone thought that this might be a trap, he still decided to meet this "old man of Pang Mountain" for a while, and when he heard Lao Bang's question, he smiled slightly, "I am indeed a Taoist priest and a human being." β
Lao Bang shook his head firmly, "Impossible, when you fight together, I can feel that you are covered in demonic power...... Maybe you are a descendant of the demon clan and accidentally fell into the world. Lao Bang's eyes lit up, "Let Yi Shijun bite you, and the truth will be revealed." β
Mu Xingqiu really didn't know who his biological parents were, but he knew that he was a pure human being, Pang Shan had conducted the most comprehensive examination of him, if he had a little bit of demon blood, he would also be taken out as evidence by the great law enforcement master Shen Zhun back then, "I'm sorry, I have no doubt about my identity." β
Lao Bang strode forward, his tall body like a moving mountain in the night.
The stronghold has been sealed, and in each of the four corners stands a slashing immortal platform - a wooden sentry tower more than ten zhang high, and the top is not a flying demon lair, but a pale green demon fire, above which floats a huge heart that is still beating, occasionally making a drum-like sound.
The camp was silent, there was no fire, and no other demon soldiers were moving around. At the door of an ordinary underground cave near the tent, Lao Bang stopped, "You must have the blood of the demon clan, or you are born wrong." β
Mu Xingqiu still smiled slightly and walked into the cave.
The hole in the ground is very clean, with traces of freshly cleaned up. There was no light, Mu Xingqiu saw the old man of Pang Shan who invited him out with his heavenly eyes, "Sure enough, it's you." Mu Xingqiu sighed softly, among the many possibilities, this was the one he didn't want to see the most.
The man opposite is not tall, although it is summer, but he is wearing a thick fur coat, and if you look closely, you will find that the thick hair that covers the upper half of the body is actually his tail, which is snow-white and fluffy. Folded over the shoulders and in front of you, the tip of the tail hanging down to the waist.
The appearance of the non-demon Pei Zihan did not stay at a certain stage in the past, he grew normally, the childishness on his face disappeared completely, he was a little more mature, and a little more calm, which was a look that he rarely appeared when he was practicing in Pang Mountain in the past.
In the Taoist system, non-demons are aliens, and non-demons with tails and discovered by fellow disciples are more like sheep living in wolves. In those years, Pei Zihan was frightened all the time, and his face always looked panicked, he could condense his qi into a pill. It was a big surprise to many.
Now, smiling, standing with his hands in his hands, he used to have a tail that he used to have once a month and wanted to cut off with a knife. Now it is generously displayed and has become a part of him that he is most proud of.
"Long time no see. Pei Zihan said.
"Six years. β
"I think I should give you an explanation. β
Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "No need." Things are clear, it is the little green peach that needs to be explained by you. β
Xiao Qingtao is Pei Zihan's cousin, and there is also Pei Ziqi, all three of them are from the non-demon family of Furong Mountain, and entering Pang Mountain together is a grand event in the Pei family.
"I'm afraid I don't have a chance. Pei Zihan's expression was slightly gloomy, "And she can't understand my situation, she made new friends as soon as she joined Pang Shan, and even in the most difficult times, there are people around her to protect her and comfort her." No, she and I are in very different circumstances, we are not on the same path. And you, Mu Xingqiu from Yelin Town, may be able to understand my choice. β
Both of them were once regarded as outliers, Mu Xingqiu suffered no less suspicion than non-demons, but their reactions were different, Mu Xingqiu always stubbornly resisted, and finally became the only disciple of Nianxinke, but Pei Zihan always forbears until he no longer wants to endure it.
"What about Pei Ziqi?" Mu Xingqiu asked, only Xiao Qingtao left the Old Ancestor Peak of the three sisters and brothers of the Pei family back then.
"Dead, as a Pangshan Taoist priest, he died, just like everyone else. Pei Zihan said lightly, as if it was just a relative who had died.
"Furong Mountain was destroyed by demon soldiers. β
"I know that the Demon King sent people to persuade them to surrender, but they refused to betray the humans. This is war, the demon clan is the weak side, and we have no room and qualifications for tolerance. β
"This is war. Mu Xingqiu repeated, and the little guilt in his heart about Lao Bang disappeared, "When did it start?"
Mu Xingqiu's question was a little abrupt, but Pei Zihan understood what this sentence meant, "A year before the battle of Old Ancestor Peak, I found the Giant Demon King in the back mountain, and the scene of his transformation from a human form to a wolf has been flashing in my mind, and I think I can find something from him. β
Pei Zihan raised his head and thought for a while, he hadn't thought about that scene for several years, "Beast demons, half-demons, non-demons, no matter how much we look like humans, there is a beast hidden in our bodies, this is not a beast form conjured by magic, but a real ancestral imprint, which has been passed down from generation to generation since hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years ago, and only non-demons who are deeply influenced by humans will be ashamed of this." After the Giant Demon King was taken away from the Demon Pill, he revealed his ancestral form, but I didn't have a Demon Pill, and I didn't even have a Nedan before, so why can I still maintain my human form? β
"Did Lacquer give you the answer?"
"No, the Giant Demon King is a warrior and a leader, not a wise man, and the Strange Historian may be able to give me an answer, but he disappeared before the battle. Pei Zihan was silent for a moment, and the rest of the narrative was much simpler, "The Giant Demon King had already recovered some of his memories at that time, but he didn't have the Demon Pill, so he felt a lot of pain, and I helped him and gained his trust. That night, it was I who brought him into the Old Ancestor Peak, and I had already inquired about how to destroy the Instant Breath Terrace and leave Pang Shan alone. The Mountain of Demon Fire had already been buried, and the Fei Clan was also dormant at a depth of more than ten zhang underground, all for that night. It wasn't a flawless plan, it was a desperate adventure, the Giant Demon King didn't care, and neither of us thought it would be a big success, let alone ruined in Broken Stream. β
Pei Zihan's explanation made the battle of Old Ancestor Peak clearer, but Mu Xingqiu didn't care about it, the time had passed, everything that should have happened had happened, and the truth couldn't change anything.
"I'm going to take away the captured Taoist priests, the human race, and the new Strange Historian. β
"Hehe, you haven't changed at all, you always put things on yourself, no matter how much it has to do with you, and whether you have the ability to do it or not. You helped me before, I never forget, this meeting is mainly to show my gratitude to you......"
Strictly speaking, Mu Xingqiu was helping Fangfang and Xiaoqingtao at that time, and he was not prejudiced against non-demons, but he didn't have a good impression of Cheng DΓΉ, who had to befriend.
"Do you need me to tell Xiao Qingtao about your situation?"
"No, sooner or later, one day, she will see me as a troll. Pei Zihan smiled, a clear smile that only Taoist priests have, "And you can't leave here, I want to leave you behind, but if I can't do it, I can only kill you." We must not allow a group of Taoist priests to come and go freely, let alone let you take the new monarch away. After the disappearance of the Strange Historian, there were a total of five heirs, and the new monarch was one of them, and they each held some records of ancient demonic arts, and they were trying one by one, and it would take at least thirty years to complete them all. β
"He's the one who helped you practice witchcraft, right?"
"Well, I haven't done anything else in the past six years, I have concentrated on refining the Inner Dan into a Demon Pill, thanks to the help of Xinjun, I have already achieved something and am able to control the Holy Cloud. Presumably you've seen the Sacred Cloud Arrow, it's just a small test, and we have more powerful demon arts, so we haven't used it because we don't want to accidentally injure too many demon soldiers. β
Pei Zihan seemed to be a little embarrassed even when he made a threat, so he tried to make the threat as easy as possible.
"We don't seem to have any other choice than killing Xinjun and fighting to the death with the demon clouds. β
"We are ready to provide a choice, the Seven Sacred Clouds against the Seven Daoists, find an open place, both sides show what they can, the winner takes all, and the loser ...... It's the loser. β
"Seven Taoist priests? Mu Xingqiu counted Xin Youtao.
"We will lend you a Taoist priest from among the eleven captives. β
Mu Xingqiu thought for a while, "Okay." β
"There are very few fair fighting methods between the demon clan and the Taoist priests, I hope we can set an example. β
"I hope so. I've also learned some new spells in recent years. β
"I know, you have absorbed more than 100,000 souls in Broken Flow City, this kind of spell even shocked the Giant Demon King, you broke through the Fish Dragon Formation with lightning a few days ago, which was quite an eye-opener for us, it is precisely to see all your abilities that the other six Holy Cloud Envoys are willing to accept this fair fight. β
"I choose the time, and after an hour, the morning will be dawning. β
"I chose a location, there is a valley twenty miles away from here in the northeast, surrounded by peaks, enough for us to fight. β
Non-demon Pei Zihan was a genuine betrayer, but Mu Xingqiu didn't have the slightest resentment in his heart, he just felt regretful, "How many Pangshan Daoists are still alive?"
"Less than ten, only the Giant Demon King knows where they're locked up. β
"What about the Mengdu Sect? How did he become an Amber Taoist. β
Pei Zihan smiled again, "Meng Dujiao is a good person, but he has gone too far on the road of the art of defying the sky, he has refined his whole body into an inner pill, and the outside is wrapped in a thick layer of solidified aura, like a translucent amber, but he is neither dead nor alive, and he can't break free from the shackles he created." He has a ability to absorb demon power and mana, and even suck away demon pills and inner pills. The Taoist priests also have similar spells, but to form a formation, they also need to rely on the assistance of a large number of magic weapons, and Meng Dujiao does not need it, so it is easy for him. You can imagine what a formidable weapon he would be if used correctly. β
Mu Xingqiu didn't ask the truth from the Taoist priest of Ranjing Mountain, but he got an explanation from a non-demon who betrayed the Taoist system, "After this battle, I will go to rescue the Mengdu Sect." β
Pei Zihan bowed slightly, not showing any shameful smile.
