Chapter 374: The End and the Beginning
Mu Xingqiu's path of cultivation is different, before and behind him, there are only legends and bones that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, and occasionally I see a few instructions on the side of the road, all of which are unknown, he can step by step to the seventh layer of the illusion realm, and he has not deviated too far from the right path, it is really a miracle, in addition to a strong will, there are also many luck elements in it.
His exploration did not end, even in the face of extremely important enemies, he had to try the newly comprehended method, just now in the hall, Yang Qingyuan's body became weaker in the lightning net, Mu Xingqiu had to reduce the power of summoning souls in order to ensure that the other party's soul did not leave his body, which gave him a little inspiration.
Mu Xingqiu still cast the sixth layer illusion technique, and caught Shen Geng's green light with a hard touch, and at the same time, he urged the soul power in the sword, just a little, to cast the soul summoning technique. He firmly remembered that the power of the soul was limited, and it could no longer be as profligate as before.
At most, this soul-summoning technique can be used to absorb a few wandering souls that have no self-control ability, and it has little effect on the living, which only makes the other party feel a chill, but for Shen Kang, who is in a stalemate with the lightning of his mind, this soul-summoning power is like a little spark that ignites a haystack.
Shen Geng trembled, as if he was immersed in ice water, he was a demon Taoist, even if he was really immersed in ice water, he would not shake like this, but he couldn't help it, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, he kept shaking, as if he was extremely frightened, "You dare to summon my soul?"
The red lightning and the green light were stalemate, and with the help of the power of the Dao Talisman, Shen Geng had a slight upper hand, but after his body trembled, his mana quickly weakened, and the green light retreated inch by inch.
"I won't pollute the Frost Soul Sword with your living soul. Mu Xingqiu was not in a hurry, he slowly advanced the lightning, his illusion was not very stable after reaching the sixth layer, and he needed to be careful to control it, "Blame yourself, the soul has been away from the body for too long." It's not easy to get back into your own body, is it?"
Shen Geng's face was pale, because Mu Xingqiu had hit the point, his soul had invaded Ding Wei's body for a long time, and he was uncomfortable just returning to his body.
Mu Xingqiu's soul summoning technique is very unique, not learned from the Lamp and Candle Department of Chaojing Mountain, but from the Ichthyosaurus Array created by Lan Bing Curling, with the mind illusion technique and the many souls in the sword to form a formation, urging the power of the soul, he read some introductory books of the Lamp and Candle Department during the retreat, and perfected the technique of exorcism and soul summoning. In fact, there are quite a few loopholes. Whether it was Liang Shiji before or Shen Geng now, it was possible to thwart the summoning soul, but they took it for granted that Mu Xingqiu had learned the real lamp and candle spell in Chaojing Mountain, so they didn't resist at all.
This is also another reason why Mu Xingqiu has no fear, strictly speaking, he does not use the magic of the Lamp and Candle Sect, and naturally he does not have to abide by the precepts of the Lamp and Candle Sect, but he is still unwilling to absorb Shen Geng's soul. The Frost Soul Sword is Fangfang's home, and Shen Geng is not qualified to enter it.
The red lightning was only half a foot away from Shen Geng, and the green light was only a short section, flickering erratically. Apparently already overwhelmed.
There is only one blow left, and this fight is coming to an end.
Heaven and earth, hundreds of Taoist priests looked at this scene, and no one sympathized with Shen Geng. Especially Pang Shan and Qi Shan Daoists, but they don't shout loudly, they just watch silently. With anticipation, and a trace of admiration for Mu Xingqiu, a series of events that happened tonight have proved that he is the well-deserved leader of the Demon Slaying Society.
"Don't kill him. It was Yang Qingyin who said this.
"Why?" was Shen Hao.
"He's sinful too much, don't let him die like this, let him go to the devil's cave alive. Yang Qingyin said coldly that she only hated Shen Geng more than others.
"I ...... No...... Defeat to you, and it won't ...... Go to the Devil's Cave. Shen Geng said with difficulty, suddenly freed his right hand, and took out four or five paper talismans at the same time, he wanted to fight to the death.
Mu Xingqiu didn't give him this opportunity, and the lightning took advantage of the weakness to enter and hit Shen Geng's chest.
Shen Geng's body stiffened, the paper talisman did not come out, left his fingers, and floated down, but he did not die.
Nianxin lightning struck Shen Geng's Zhongdantian Jiang Palace, breaking his fundamental concealment method with great power, and now, like mortals, he was completely exposed to the power of the illusionary technique.
Mu Xingqiu said to Yang Qingyin that he didn't like illusion either, and would rather use whips and lightning to resist the enemy than have frequent contact with complex and sinister people's hearts, but this time was an exception, he wanted to know what Shen Geng's heart was full of, this was what he wanted to know in the guest house in Jinghu Village.
The heart of ordinary people is like a shallow pond, leaves, animals, and even wind, frost, rain and snow will have a direct and obvious impact on it, and the heart of a Taoist priest is like a deep pool in a deep valley, reflecting all things without being moved.
Shen Geng's state of mind was different from that of mortals and Taoist priests, it was a huge and hard piece of ice.
The illusion can't stir up a wave, but it can smash the ice into pieces.
Shen Geng covered his heart and staggered in the air, "I won't defeat you." He said unconvincing words in his mouth, but his eyes did not look at anyone, "I am a descendant of the Shen family, my mother said that I am a rare genius, and my opponent is Zuo Liuying, not you waste, let alone you." Mu Xingqiu, I won't lose to you, haha, I won't, you are an ant-like character. I've already defeated you, haha, I've defeated you, bow your head and admit your mistakes, you dare to refuse my invitation, unforgivable, absolutely unforgivable. Get down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness, and I'll give you a good ......"
Shen Geng muttered to himself, getting more and more excited, ignoring all the Taoist priests around him, completely immersed in the perfect world he had weaved, where he was the only proud son of heaven, and everyone surrounded him and looked up to him in a circle according to his likes and dislikes, and the person he hated the most was kneeling on the ground and curled up in a ball, weeping bitterly and confessing his sins.
"I will give you death, but you have to make it clear what you are wrong, haven't you found out that I will become the greatest Taoist priest in the world? Do you think that the power of ants can fight against the gods? Die, wash away your sins with your blood, and let everyone in the world know what will happen to those who disobey me......
Shen Geng is crazy, he didn't enter the demon, because he is already a demon Taoist, he is just simply crazy.
He didn't feel the existence of outsiders at all, the world was like a dream for him, coming and going, there was no excess, he suddenly went from arrogance to grief, holding his hands on his shoulders, like a child of a few years old waking up in the dark, "Mother, take Shen Ji away, the sound of his breathing is too loud, take him away, throw him out of the mountain." Mother, hold me ......"
The words that he would not have said even when he were alone poured out.
If it weren't for Shen Geng's extremely cruel attempt to kill two Taoist priests, everyone would almost have sympathy for him, but his weakness and madness at this time were just disgusting, especially the Pangshan Taoist priest who suffered deeply, thinking of Erliang and the disciples who were killed in Yangshen Peak, their mood could only be expressed in two words spit out by Yang Qingyin: "You deserve it." ”
More than a dozen high-ranking Taoist priests arrived, perhaps they had already arrived, but they only appeared when the fighting method was over.
Zuo Liuying, who had previously decreed Shen Geng's appearance, did not come, and Shen Jixian, the first seat of the Five Elements Section of Pangshan, flew in front of Shen Geng, his face was like frost, and he slapped a palm on the top of Shen Geng's head, causing him to faint, and then turned to everyone in the Wangshan Daoist Hall and said: "It is not easy to practice, please take him as a lesson, the Xingshan Demon Pulling Cave will be the only residence for him before and after his death." ”
Shen Jixian grabbed Shen Geng's wrist and disappeared into a beam of light.
The Taoist priests in the courtyard also left the Wangshan Taoist Hall under the signal of the head of each family, although no one said goodbye, but most of the Taoist priests nodded to Mu Xingqiu, they were not used to disobeying the will of the senior Taoist priests, but they had already identified with their own leader in their hearts.
Pangshan Taoist priest also went back to his own hall, no one spoke along the way, Shen Geng's subjugation is a very happy thing, but he also brought out a lot of sad memories, this time among the Taoist priests who came to Huangjing, there are a few people who are the disciples of Yangshenfeng back then, and they are too impressed by what Shen Geng did, but they can't express the joy after revenge.
In the front yard of the Pangshan Daoist Hall, when everyone was about to separate, a Taoist priest suddenly turned to Mu Xingqiu, and the other Taoist priests did the same, without prior consultation, and no one gave an order, and everyone gave Mu Xingqiu a Taoist gift at the same time.
"We expect that under your leadership, the Demon Slayer will be able to recapture the ancestral land of Pangshan as much as possible. A Taoist priest who was not very familiar with Mu Xingqiu said.
"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu returned the salute and didn't say anything.
The crowd dispersed, and only a few remained, who were not only Mu Xingqiu's followers, but also his good friends.
The bald man was so excited that the demon heart on his head was flashing, but he didn't squeak, as if he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would ruin the atmosphere he liked.
Artemisia stood beside the bald man, as if she was the only one who didn't care about everything, but she bowed her head slightly, and used the tip of her shoe to flick the gap between the bluestone slabs, showing a rare hint of contemplation.
Xiao Qingtao couldn't help but want to cry, she never forgot that young man Erliang who always quarreled with her, and the desire for revenge in her heart was as strong as Mu Xingqiu's, "I...... I'll go back and rest first. She ran to her room, not wanting to reveal her true feelings in front of others, which is a move that only a madman Shen Geng can make.
"After so many years, I finally avenged Erliang. Shen Hao sighed, "I guess Shen Geng has already gone crazy, all the Taoist families gathered in the imperial capital, he actually dared to do such a thing under the nose of a senior Taoist priest." Fortunately, it's over. ”
"Hmm. Mu Xingqiu nodded again, but was it all over?
Shen Jixian appeared in the courtyard and said to Mu Xingqiu, "We need to talk." ”
"Yes. Mu Xingqiu said goodbye to Shen Hao and Yang Qingyin with his eyes, and walked towards the head of the Five Elements Section, he was also about to talk, talk about the memories he had obtained from Shen Geng's mind.
A qiē has just begun.
