Chapter 659: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole (Three Watches)
(Thanks to reader heathers for the red tip)
Prince Tuotao led 3,000 cavalry into the land of demons, either dead or fleeing, leaving less than 2,000 left, all standing outside the invisible prohibition set by the Taoist priests at this time, all of them were stunned.
As soon as they moved the camp over, and the tent had not yet been towered, they were fascinated by the strange sight in the Taoist camp.
A lone cedar shook off the snow as they watched, and its branches, leaves, and flowers turned into an unknown and beautiful plant. And that's not all, the greenery expands outward around this tree, and everywhere it goes, the ice and snow turn into dirt, and all kinds of flowers and trees emerge and grow rapidly.
The green space grew bigger and bigger, except for the bonfire that was born of spells, Zuo Liuying was originally sitting on a stone, and then the stone turned into a pile of grass, but he was unmoved, still tightly wrapped in several layers of leather jacket.
Among all the people, Artemisia is the only one who can see through the illusion with her efforts, but she prefers false visions, jumping on the grass, running around among the flowers, chasing down the insects that are flying around.
"Haha, this must be a spell of the Mind Mind, Mu Xingqiu would still have this ability, I thought he would only throw lightning and take away his memory. ”
"Brother Xiaoqiu is very capable. The bald man followed behind Artemisia and boasted triumphantly.
Gao Fuwei was also dumbfounded, he knew that this was an illusion, but when the flowers and plants grew from under his feet, he couldn't help but get out of the way, and muttered in his mouth: "What is Daozun doing? I just conjured a few butterflies in my memory...... Awesome, awesome. ”
Yin Bushen still stayed outside the prohibition after sending the clothes, and then he was prostrate on the ground, making a whimpering sound similar to crying, just a simple illusion, which also had a very obvious impact on him.
All the demons of the Sacrifice Country were attracted by the illusion, and when the green land broke through the prohibition and extended to their feet, all the demon soldiers retreated in panic, but they did not want to go too far.
The demon general Luo Yunqiao is also retreating. His face was cloudy, and he had only heard of the scene where Mu Xingqiu had broken through all enemies, and he was somewhat suspicious, but now the illusion was clearly displayed in front of his eyes, and he had to believe it. He could see that these illusions were harmless, but the people and spells that could create illusions must be extremely powerful.
The illusion didn't expand too quickly, but when it disappeared, it was extremely fast, and the greenery was still reflected in the eyes of many, and the snow had regained its territory.
Only a handful of eyes can see the last city walls.
Mu Xingqiu and Yang Qingyin appeared at the feet of the lonely cedar. Stand side by side. The demons of the self-sacrificing country outside the ban suddenly knelt down one after another, as if they saw the gods appear, Luo Yunqiao couldn't stop it, and he didn't dare to stop it, he himself had to kneel, and the heavy armor on his body didn't affect his legs and feet at all.
Xiao Hao walked up to Gao Fuwei and nodded solemnly, "You have some ability, if I get married." I'm looking for your help. ”
"Hmm......" Gao Fuwei didn't listen to what Xiao Hao said, his eyes were fixed on Mu Yang and the others, and he felt that something was wrong.
"Rest, set off as soon as dawn comes. Mu Xingqiu gave an order.
It wasn't long before dawn. The demons did not set up tents, but found a place to sleep hastily, and all they saw in their dreams were green spaces and flowers.
Yang Qingyin silently strengthened the prohibition around the camp to stop the curious eyes outside. At the same time, it can also block the trespass of ordinary demon clans.
Yin Bushen jumped into the forbidden at the last moment, standing close to the side, his eyes swept around in horror. As long as there is a hint, which little demon Feifei glares, he will immediately run out of the ban. No one expelled him, and no one paid attention to him, Yin Bushen breathed a sigh of relief, his face was happy, and he gradually approached the bonfire.
Mu Xingqiu also happened to walk near the bonfire, ready to sit down, Yin Bushen was quick to roll up a pile of useless clothes and put them on the stones that had been placed there a long time ago.
Mu Xingqiu stared at the burning fire of the Five Elements, his expression was as strict as a piece of ice, but the shadows on the snow were swaying recklessly.
Everyone had a hunch that something was wrong, and even Xiao Hao didn't come up to ask how the relationship was, and finally Zuo Liuying turned his head and said, "You haven't strengthened yet?"
"What?"
"You've drawn out the calamity, and that's a good start, but the calamity will gradually fade and re-hide in the bottom of your heart, so you have to keep feeling that way and don't let it run away until you feel tired, tired, or even disgusted, and then you can remove it from the bottom of your heart. That's what it means. ”
Of course, Mu Xingqiu understood the process of slashing the fate of the tribulation, this was the basic common sense taught by the Dao system, but he just didn't expect that it would be so difficult when it really came to progress.
The intimate contact between him and Yang Qingyin just now could never be regarded as a success, but his original purpose was achieved, and he brought out the deepest love in his heart, which was the nostalgia for Fangfang, because Fangfang had passed away, only the soul remained in the Frost Soul Sword, and this nostalgia became the source of pain that could never be satisfied.
The first step of the tribulation is to lead the calamity out, Gao Fuwei said that this is "leading the snake out of the hole", which is indeed somewhat accurate, and the second step is to consolidate the calamity, and retain the various emotions it brings for a long time until it can be completely eliminated.
But Mu Xingqiu didn't want to treat this nostalgia as a "snake", let alone as a love catastrophe that would be cut off, he felt heartache, felt weak, but he was reluctant to throw it away, he was carrying nostalgia, just like a defeated slave carrying a big bag of gold and silver, even if his waist was crushed and he could only crawl on the ground, he refused to give up one or two of them.
Mu Xingqiu understands these truths, but it is too difficult to do, and there is an important reason why he is reluctant to take the next step of cutting the relationship: Yang Qingyin does not seem to have led out the love robbery.
Without the need for the Essence Passage Method, or Gao Fuwei's guidance, Mu Xingqiu could feel that Yang Qingyin liked to hug each other, and was completely immersed in the illusion for the last period of time, even when the illusion turned into a city tower, she did not show deep pain.
Pain is the premise of cutting fate, and Yang Qingyin is also manipulated by love robbery, one step behind Mu Xingqiu.
"I'll wait. Mu Xingqiu said that he couldn't be like Ning Qiwei, the former sect master of Pang Mountain, who only cared about his own fate.
Zuo Liuying didn't persuade, he wore several layers of leather jackets, sat near a pile of Five Elements Fire, still looking cold, and refused to take off his straw hat, like a victim who had just been rescued from the ice water.
After the ban was strengthened, Yang Qingyin also walked to the bonfire. "You can't wait any longer, you have to keep going. ”
"But you ......"
"Mu Xingqiu, sometimes good intentions will do wrong things, you always want to spend the calamity with me, how does this make me feel sad? How to lead to the calamity? The more you are like this, the more ...... I am I like you. ”
Yang Qingyin doesn't have the gentle temperament that Gao Fuwei admires, he has something to say, and he doesn't care if there are other people around, "Your love calamity has no goal, so it's easy to lead it out." My love calamity is all on you, and the better you are, the deeper I will fall, so you better hurry up and consolidate your love calamity, it will be good for both of us. ”
Mu Xingqiu had nothing to say, he had to go down step by step.
It is not easy to keep the painful moment of love in his heart, Mu Xingqiu has to recall the memories just now over and over again, he thinks that he will never be disgusted with this memory, but he will eventually get tired. Eventually, the fate will be cut.
Mu Xingqiu stretched out his hand, Yang Qingyin walked over, held his hand, and quickly let go. It seems to be reaching some kind of agreement, but in fact, it is quietly handing over the water of the sword washing pool.
At the stage of consolidating the love tribulation, it was difficult for Mu Xingqiu to even think about the details of the spell, let alone cast the spell directly. Yang Qingyin suddenly became the protector of him and everyone.
Yang Qingyin quietly put away the water droplets, and suddenly showed a smile to Mu Xingqiu, "Okay." This imitation is completed, it's really troublesome, I hope I will never have to make a relationship again after cutting the mortal fate. ”
Mu Xingqiu also smiled, he was a Taoist priest after all, although he evoked nostalgia for Fangfang, he would not show the pain on his face again.
Xiao Hao walked up to Zuo Liuying, squatted down and asked, "Do you regard the tribulation as the most basic memory?"
Xiao Hao was very satisfied with the expressions of Mu and Yang, but she was puzzled that Zuo Liuying was the first to see that Mu Xingqiu had led to a love disaster.
"Well, this is a very important memory, and I have to keep in mind the suffering of mortals in order to move forward bravely in my third practice. ”
Xiao Hao nodded, indicating that she understood, this is indeed a bit similar to the Fate Tribulation, both of which first lead to pain, then remember the pain, experience the pain, until it is completely liberated, "But mortals also have mortal happiness, what if you indulge in it?"
"Then I'm going to fail. You seem to know me very well, I only remember your name, I don't remember what you did. ”
"We used to know each other very well, and we knew each other well...... It's almost mushy. The land of demons is not interesting, I will take you to Jiangnan in the future, where you can experience what real mortals are, and you have to see their pain and happiness. ”
Zuo Liuying nodded, his eyes turned to the bonfire, and he didn't want to speak anymore.
Yang Qingyin had nothing to do, strengthened the ban again, and quietly tried the sword washing pool water, which helped a lot.
She saw Gao Fuwei standing there like a wooden man all the time, and remembered the memory he provided, "What happened to you and that Miss Song in the end?"
"Ahh......h Oh, you mean her. "She was married to a bureaucrat, had two children, and then fell ill and died at the age of thirty-one." We are mortal beings, and our fate is impermanent, so we are born with unique abilities, emotions are easy to come and go, and we don't need to work hard to ...... Cutting the edge. ”
Gao Fuwei laughed twice, and that memory didn't seem to have any effect on him anymore.
Yang Qingyin only wanted to know an ending, and found that it was better to know nothing. She turned to walk away, but Gao Fuwei suddenly became angry.
This burst of anger came quite suddenly, there was no warning beforehand, even Gao Fuwei himself didn't know what was going on, but he just wanted to be angry, he was not controlled at all, if he didn't say what was in his heart, he felt that he would be suffocated.
"Why?" he exclaimed. All eyes turned around, especially Yang Qingyin, with an inexplicable look on his face, and a little annoyed.
"Isn't a Taoist priest a human being? You have to cut off the seven emotions and six desires cleanly to be considered powerful? Look at you, love has just begun, and you are in a hurry to cut it off, you, you are simply ...... Stupid and unreasonable. What is consolidating pain and cutting off karma is all deceitful nonsense!"
"Damn, I'm about to die of anger. Mu Xingqiu, do you know that a person is willing to give a spirit king when he loves him the deepest...... The Spirit King didn't even want to survive the catastrophe for you. ”
