Mu Xingqiu lay on the grass, his head rested on his hands, and he gently chewed a straw stick in his mouth, looking up at the sky. It was early autumn, the sky was high and crisp, and the weeds under him were soft and tough, like a legendary old wine brewed in the countryside, with a rough entrance and a mellow aftertaste, which people who were too delicate could not enjoy this kind of fun.

The rattan formed by the demon seed was placed beside him, its strength was slowly recovering, occasionally it would suddenly rise in half like a snake, and then it was pumped heavily on the grass, making a crisp snapping sound, Mu Xingqiu ignored it, just stared at the unpredictable flowing clouds in the sky, his mind was actually empty, and he didn't think about anything.

He didn't even cast a spell ban around him, so the female Taoist priest was able to approach easily, standing on the top of the hill and staring at him for a long time, "Do you know that you are the biggest laughing stock in the world?"

Mu Xingqiu stood up, spit out the straw stick in his mouth, looked at the young female Taoist priest more than a dozen steps away, and only vaguely recognized her identity after a while, "Zhang Xiang'er, Zhang Lingsheng's daughter?"

Zhang Xiang'er snorted perfunctorily, she didn't have much of her father's shadow, but she still had a lot of childhood, Mu Xingqiu immediately appeared in his mind, two children immediately appeared in his mind, they ran around in Shen Xiuming's flower garden, following Mu Xingqiu all the way, but rarely approached, "What about Shen Cunyi?"

Zhang Xiang'er frowned slightly, as if she was not very happy to hear this name, "You should practice in the tower, I don't know." ”

Cultivation will change a lot, if childhood partners can't move forward side by side, it's easy to have estrangement, Mu Xingqiu asked something that shouldn't be asked, and smiled, "So everyone in the world knows about my challenge to Kun Zhu?"

"Patriarch. Zhang Xiang'er corrected seriously, "When you asked Zuo Liuying to go to the imperial capital to declare war, you already thought of this, right?"

"I didn't let anyone declare war, he volunteered, and wanted to get ahead of me to experience how powerful the Kunzhu Patriarch really was. Mu Xingqiu also corrected and made a small compromise on the title.

Zhang Xiang'er pondered for a moment and accepted the name of "Kunzhu Patriarch". "I thought you would hide until three days later and then suddenly appear in the imperial capital, just like Zuo Liuying. ”

"I don't want to hide, that will affect the mood before the fight. Mu Xingqiu stretched her waist, Zhang Xiang'er's fingers moved slightly, and when she found that Mu Xingqiu had no intention of attacking, she slowly retracted her palm back into her sleeve.

"How did you find here?"

"Zuo Liuying's memory, you broke up five miles away, he went to the imperial capital, you ...... Rest here. I thought I wouldn't find you. I don't understand, this place is only less than a hundred miles away from the imperial capital, and you don't have anything else to do, why do you choose to fight after three days, so you make a mystery?"

"Zuo Liuying's memory doesn't have an answer?"

Zhang Xiang'er was speechless, and after a while she said: "It was the ancestor who got all his memories, not me." ”

"All the memories? If Patriarch Kun Zhen really got all the memories, he would not agree to the fighting method after three days, but would directly kill him and seize the demon seed. ”

Maybe it's stimulated by the word "demon seed". The rattan on the grass suddenly bounced, Mu Xingqiu grabbed it, and the rattan struggled for a while before gradually stabilizing.

"Patriarch Kun believes that we are hiding secrets that are not in his favor. He wants to dig up this secret, that's why he agrees to fight after three days, as for why it has to be three days, I'm waiting for it to recover. The time is too short, and the power of the demon seed is insufficient, more than three days. I can't control it. ”

"Hey, who would have thought that Mu Xingqiu and Zuo Liuying, who had been fighting against the demon clan all their lives, would actually use the demon seed to fight with the Dao Patriarch. Zhang Xiang'er sneered and suddenly jumped into the sky, "I'm leaving." ”

"Wait, why are you coming to me?"

"I just want to see how my former guardian became a laughing stock in the eyes of the world. "Zhang Xiang'er's cold arrogance is not as deeply hidden as the disciples of the Taoist sect, and it is clearly revealed, indicating that she does not have a pure Taoist heart.

"I am also your guardian now, I promised your father that I will take care of you as long as I live, and if anyone bullies you, please let me know. By the way, your birthday is the ninth day of the eighth month, and it has just passed. ”

Zhang Xiang'er fell to the ground again, her expression became more and more cold, "From now on, I will release your promise, you don't need to 'take care' of me anymore, no one bullies me, I am a Taoist priest, but my birthday." Well, I'll tell you the truth, I'm here to settle a catastrophe: I've been told me ever since I was a kid that I had an amazing guardian, how great you are, how great you are, and how many years I've thought about it, and even made one gift after another for you, but you never showed up. No, it appeared once, in Uncle Hugh Ming's flower garden, hurrying and going, and it wasn't me at all that you went to see, I just happened to be there. This matter stuck in my heart like a pebble, preventing me from forming the heart of a Taoist priest and affecting my cultivation. The past does not pass away, it grows day by day, the book says that this is called 'pearl robbery', and I am going to break this superfluous pearl today. ”

Mussels secrete fluid to envelop the sand that mixes into their bodies, creating pearls that are beautiful but meaningless to the maker, and they never feel comfortable.

"I wish you success, but it has nothing to do with my promise to your father. Mu Xingqiu smiled, and the scene of Zhang Ling's death before death clearly appeared in his mind.

Zhang Xiang'er had a pearl robbery in his heart, but Mu Xingqiu had a series of pearls in his heart, he didn't know if it was a robbery, but he didn't want to lose any of them.

Zhang Xiang'er rose into the air again, "It doesn't matter, the ancestor will help me cut off this calamity, three days later, everything will be over, you will be imprisoned in the Demon Pulling Cave, I don't have to ...... anymore"

"Is that where I belong?"

"The ancestor doesn't kill people, and even the demon clan won't kill them with his own hands, so after you are defeated, you will be sent to the Demon Pulling Cave. Zhang Xiang'er paused, "You stole the demon seed, and used the demon seed as a weapon to fight with the ancestor, and entered the demon cave...... It's what you deserve. ”

"yes, the Dao Tong thinks so, right?"

"Of course. Zhang Xiang'er began to feel strange, flew to the imperial capital a hundred miles away, and sent another sentence from afar, "If you are willing to change, the patriarch will forgive you, he is very tolerant of all people from Taoist priesthood......"

Zhang Xiang'er disappeared.

Mu Xingqiu lay on the grass again, casually folded another straw stick and put it in his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "It's really troublesome to take care of people, Zhang Lingsheng." You really know how to get revenge on me...... Come to think of it, I really don't seem to be a proper guardian. ”

Mu Xingqiu said to himself, he had left Zhang Xiang'er a lot of pills and materials for cultivation, but he had never been to see her deliberately, and when he heard that she was fully favored by Princess Xijieguo and Shen Xiuming, he always felt that he didn't need to appear.

"Fortunately, she is a Taoist priest, and she can get through this hurdle. Mu Xingqiu really wished that he would just lie down all the time, never have to get up, and not have to worry about anything.

But things will come to their own doors. Not long after Zhang Xiang'er left, the dragon demon floated down from the sky, sitting on her knees beside Mu Xingqiu, her complexion was still a little blue, but her body was basically restored, and the smile on her face was faint, as if she was recalling some fun scene.

"The little girl can't break the pearl robbery. The dragon demon said.

"Kun Chu will help her. ”

"The little girl will regret it later. ”

Mu Xingqiu hummed indifferently, he was now in a state of extreme relaxation, not caring about anything. Not even caring about the fighting method after three days, "Aren't you tired of it?"

"Tired of what?"

"The target approaches again and again, and then goes away again and again, and you can't break through the Pull Hole. And I always have new opponents in front of me, endlessly, never-ending, don't you get tired of it?"

The dragon demon thought for a moment. "Don't get tired, I think it's funny, just imagine. If I had broken the Cave early on and released a bunch of souls that turned to ashes at the sight of sunlight, I would have been in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. You know, when I first got the Demon Tribulation, I was a little regretful, worried that I would finally succeed this time, and then I really didn't pursue it. ”

Mu Xingqiu threw away the straw stick in his mouth and sat up, "That's right, why should I get tired of it? The enemy didn't suddenly appear in front of me, they were always there, but when I was too weak, I couldn't detect their existence, and they didn't look down on me. So everything is not the same, I have gained, I have always gained. ”

The dragon demon smiled, "You can survive these three days, the influence of the demon seed on you is becoming more and more obvious." ”

"Otherwise, it's not enough to control the demon seed. Mu Xingqiu said firmly, he had just expelled a trace of demonic thoughts from his mind and regained his previous fighting spirit.

"You don't have to work so hard. The dragon demon said gently, as if sympathizing with his own suffering.

"The opportunity can't be wasted, wouldn't it be better if I could defeat Kun Chao without going into the Demon Cave? ”

"Single-minded and unintentional, except for the Mind Sect Descendant, is there really no one who can explain their meaning to you?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "It's only them." ”

"They are just some rotten souls, it is difficult to say whether they remember these things, and even if they do, it may be useless, after all, the tenth and eleventh layers of the Mind Illusion Technique have never been cultivated. ”

"So it's an opportunity, not a sure win, so I'm going to go all out and prepare for the fight in three days' time, so I don't have to go into the hole. ”

Mu Xingqiu turned to the Dragon Demon and looked at the face that was so similar to Fang Fang and so different from Fang Fang seriously, "Promise me to take good care of Mu Dong'er, and ......"

The dragon demon smiled, "Ah, you also left me a 'big trouble', it's okay, I like to be nosy, it's just that Yang Qingyin will really hate me to death, their mother and son have been separated for so many years, and it has something to do with me." ”

"She's very open-minded and will understand you in the end. Mu Xingqiu also smiled, "The more opportunities, the better, once or twice is not enough, there must be more back-ups, if I still can't beat Kun Chao, and I can't get out of the Demon Pulling Cave, then the last hope is in Mu Dong'er and ...... On the Frost Soul Sword. ”

Mu Xingqiu unconsciously touched the right rib, and the frost soul sword engraved on it with a spell had been removed.

"It's ironic that you fight for the people of the world, but the people of the world see you as a laughing stock. ”

"I don't fight for the people of the world, or even for my family and friends. Mu Xingqiu stood up and looked at Huangjing, "I once ran away in front of him, and I want to go back and challenge him, I fight for myself." ”
