Chapter 449: Parting

Many major events will happen in the autumn of this year and the following winter, some of which can be predicted in advance, such as the fact that the Daoists will finally unite to wage war against the demon clan, so the departure of several Taoist priests from Pangshan on a slightly cold morning was just a trivial matter at that time, and even a little sad.

Among these people, the one who attracted the most attention was Zuo Liuying, who had become the only Taoist priest who voluntarily quit the Taoist system in the history of more than 130,000 years, and many Taoist priests have done research on this and confirmed that this statement is correct.

After all, a Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, and after half a night, there is only one correct statement: Zuo Liuying withdrew from the Taoist system in order to survive the catastrophe. Pang Shan Wizard encountered the Sigh Tribulation - also known as the "Unstoppable Tribulation", all Taoist priests will fall in front of it sooner or later, and accepting it calmly is the only choice, but Zuo Liuying has to challenge it, and he is also challenging himself. Many admired his determination, but no one believed that he would succeed.

Maybe even Zuo Liuying himself didn't believe it, so he had to withdraw from the Taoist system, away from everyone's sight, away from those disappointments and schadenfreude, he was once considered one of the most promising living Taoist priests to reach the realm of serving the moon, but now he has stopped at the sixfold concentration forever.

There is a rumor that has been proven to be wrong, Zuo Liuying's cultivation realm has not declined because of the art of breaking thoughts, and he is indeed unable to exert his full strength, but it is because of the old wounds of the battle of breaking the flow into the battle, and it has nothing to do with the erasure of memories.

What memories had he removed? Since it was a matter of Taoist secrets that only Shen Daoist monks could understand, naturally there would be no credible claims coming out, especially since even he himself could not say anything.

In contrast, Mu Xingqiu received less attention, but more sadness. Ordinary Taoist priests are far from reaching the realm of ruthlessness and desirelessness, and when they heard that Mu Xingqiu voluntarily turned into a demon for Yang Qingyin, they all appreciated it, but they inevitably added a sentence. "Being trapped by love is not the right way in the end. Mu Xingqiu got a Starfall Inner Pill at a young age, but he stopped in front of the love calamity, which is probably the so-called 'blessing and misfortune'. ”

The two Taoist priests who stopped in front of the Taoist Tribulation seemed to outsiders to have a bit of sympathy, and seeing them deviate from the right path and go to the dangerous wilderness, they had to find the exact answer in the fog, and it was difficult for the Taoist priests to give sincere blessings, so no one came to see them off that morning.

Shen Hao didn't come, he had already said goodbye in advance, and he didn't want to add sadness when he really left.

Shen Xiuming is like an old mother who is sending her child out of the house. I was nagging all morning, "This is a new batch of fruits harvested this year, you eat it quickly, it will spoil if you leave it for a long time." This is some of your things, Shen Hao brought them back, why did you buy a bunch of straw hats? The people in the city heard that you lived with me, and sent many gifts, I knew that you didn't like it, and rejected most of them. That's all I have left......"

It was a folding fan, on which the whole poem "General Xing" was written in neat handwriting, Mu Xingqiu accepted it, and soon his treasure bag was not enough. I had to use another Qiankun bag.

Xiao Qingtao came to meet Mu Xingqiu early, and also got many gifts and nagging from Shen Xiuming, "You are a Taoist priest and have your own ideas." I can't understand it, but after all, you are a female Taoist priest, why do you want to run into the demons? Xin Youtao will be fine. Brother Xiao Qiu can send him back safely, not to mention the Eight Great Dao Unification, isn't the war about to start......?

Xiao Qingtao learned how to deal with it from Mu Xingqiu, but she just kept nodding and smiling without explaining.

"It's really strange, you always take risks everywhere, why did you ...... this time" Shen Xiuming held back the ominous words, this time it was different from before, Mu Xingqiu took the demon pill. Shen Xiuming inquired, there have been six Taoist priests who have died because of the demon, Yang Qingyin and Pei Zihan are still alive, one wants to reverse, the other wants to continue, but they are all stuck in the middle stage and can't retreat, Mu Xingqiu can be said to be nine deaths, and the more terrible result is that the demon is successful and becomes the target of the Taoist system.

Shen Xiuming felt that he would not be able to get rid of the nightmare for a long time in the future.

Mu Xingqiu also left a few gifts, not for Shen Xiuming, but for Shen Cunyi and Zhang Xiang'er, the two children, "Join Pang Shan, each give them a hundred night candles, which is good for cultivation, condense qi into a pill, and give them a demon pill and a bone staff each." Wangshan is closed, it is very difficult to induce demons with magic weapons, and the bone staff is a demon weapon, which contains some demon seeds, which may be able to be used. ”

Shen Xiuming knew the preciousness of these gifts very well, and the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, his heart was sour, and he almost cried, took the gift and hurriedly turned around, just in time to see Zuo Liuying.

Zuo Liuying stood at the door, wearing a Taoist robe, and there was no hairpin on his head like Mu Xingqiu, I don't know if it was an illusion or something real, the mystery of the Taoist priest and the majesty of the head of the forbidden secret department were almost all gone on Zuo Liuying's body, except for that, he didn't have any memory damage.

Even so, Shen Xiuming still felt nervous, saluted in a panic, and hurriedly said goodbye, avoiding many embarrassing scenes when saying goodbye.

The room was so quiet that it was audible that pins were falling, and finally Zuo Liuying spoke first, "When are you leaving?"

Zuo Liuying was actually asking for advice from herself, and Mu Xingqiu was very uncomfortable, "Right away, but there are some things I want to ask." ”

"Hmm. ”

Mu Xingqiu thought about this question all night, "Why do you want to follow me? You can travel the world, you can live in seclusion, the world is so big, there are places everywhere for you to continue your cultivation, you don't need to follow me to watch me turn into a demon." ”

Xiao Qingtao involuntarily lowered her head and shrank back, Zuo Liuying was a Taoist priest after all, Mu Xingqiu actually spoke in a questioning tone, she still couldn't accept it.

Zuo Liuying pondered for a while, as if struggling to find a reason from the remaining memories, and finally he said, "I believe what you say about the origin of Dao Fire. ”

Mu Xingqiu was stunned for a moment, he thought that what he said was just indifference and ridicule, but he didn't expect Zuo Liuying to take it seriously.

No matter how weird the priests are, they don't lie.

"I'll give you another choice, between the Taoist priest and the patriarch tower, which one will you try to protect?" asked Mu Xingqiu.

"Patriarch Tower. Zuo Liuying replied without hesitation, as if this was a code, "No matter how long-lived the Taoist priest is, he will eventually die, but the Patriarch Pagoda will last forever, so no matter what the circumstances, the Patriarch Pagoda is the only choice." ”

The voices of the two were very peaceful, but Xiao Qingtao heard a little tough. I was even more nervous in my heart, and I glanced up at Mu Xingqiu and found that he was actually laughing.

"I have to find out if you are still the same as before, you haven't changed, but this time I went to Baizhang City, you followed me, not me followed you, so it's up to me to decide. ”

Zuo Liuying was slightly confused, "It's impossible for Pang Shan to allow me to take the Ancestor Tower, what do you want to decide?"

"When to move, when to rest, whether to fight or to make peace, whether to retreat or to advance. It's up to me to decide. ”

Zuo Liuying's mind didn't seem to stay in this room, his eyes were always slightly downcast, staring at the inconsequential ground, as if he was making a silent communication with a distant Taoist priest, but he did hear Mu Xingqiu's words, and he could answer, "I agree." ”

Mu Xingqiu suddenly found that he was too childish, he had nothing to decide at all, and thought about it. Grab a topless straw hat and buckle it on your head, "Then let's go." ”

Zuo Liuying reached out and picked up a straw hat and stared at it for a while, as if he had never seen anything like this before. Then put it on your head.

Xiao Qingtao was very surprised, she didn't like straw hats, and she had a long hairpin on her head, and it was not appropriate to wear it. Seeing that the other two had already walked out of the room, she stuffed the whole stack of straw hats into her Qiankun bag and followed out quickly.

Artemisia walked over with a yawn. She neither went back to Pang Mountain, nor did she go to find the same door in Chaojing Mountain, so she stayed in the Shen Mansion for a night, and she didn't pay attention to all the news that spread last night, and she was not surprised to see Zuo Liuying, "Hello...... First. ”

"Hello, Duan Caihao. ”

Xiao Hao said very casually, but Zuo Liuying was a little too formal.

"Is this the departure?" Xiao Hao asked Mu Xingqiu.

"Here we go. ”

"I can't fly, which of you takes me down. ”

"We're going to Baizhang City, not back to Pangshan. ”

"Yes, I just want to go to Baizhang City with you. I've thought about it, I'm really not interested in practicing boxing without you watching, and it's better for you to always be by my side in the future. Artemisia's gaze scanned back and forth over the three of them, looking for someone who could take her on flight.

Zuo Liuying pressed the brim of his hat slightly, "This is also something that you need to decide, right?"

Mu Xingqiu straightened his expression and said to Xiao Hao: "No, you are a burden, we can't take you with us, you stay and concentrate on practicing boxing, and wait for me to come back to check." ”

Mu Xingqiu Yujian rose into the sky, and suddenly saw something running from the front yard, startling the servant who was sweeping the floor. The unicorn flea also came, and its huge body jumped and jumped like a puppy, wanting to bite off Mu Xingqiu in the sky for a while, and then circling around Zuo Liuying, not allowing him to fly.

Mu Xingqiu didn't fall to the ground again, Zuo Liuying stretched out a hand and gently pressed it on Qilin's forehead, "You are a Pangshan spirit animal, but we are no longer Pangshan Taoists, stay." ”

The flea didn't move, lowered his head sadly, rubbed Zuo Liuying twice, and then raised his head to look at Mu Xingqiu, with anticipation in his bright yellow eyes.

"Let's go. Mu Xingqiu said, taking the lead and flying out of the city, Zuo Liuying and Xiao Qingtao followed.

Mu and Zuo didn't look back, but Xiao Qingtao frequently looked back, seeing the figures of fleas and Artemisia gradually getting smaller, and their hearts were suddenly sad.

More than ten miles away from the city, Xiao Qingtao has gotten rid of her sadness and become stronger, but Zuo Liuying suddenly stopped in the air, turned around to look back, and the other two did the same, and saw a scene that surprised them, the Pangshan Iron Qilin, which had never shown the ability to fly for several generations, was running in the air with four hooves and the wind - fleas carrying Xiao Artemisia to catch up.

"Haha, the two of us are not a burden. Artemisia screamed excitedly, let out a long whimper, and rode past the three of them on a flea, continuing to fly westward.

"What about your decision?" asked Zuo Liuying.

Mu Xingqiu raised his hand and wanted to scratch his head, but what he encountered was a straw hat, so he laughed, "Hey, anyway, I owe Pang Shan a lot of favors, so let's steal two more things." ”

This year is the 642nd year of the 37th Ancestor of the Dao Dynasty, it has been six years since the ancestor disappeared and the Old Ancestor Peak was destroyed, and the Dao Demon War was about to be rekindled, and the four Taoist priests and a unicorn left Broken Flow City, taking away a faint hope, a hope that almost no one believed in - the origin of Dao fire.
