Xin Youtao is now a talisman master, wearing a towering five-fold crown on his head, wide robe with large sleeves, and various patterns are embroidered with gold and silver coins in inconspicuous places such as placket and hem, such as talismans, more like gorgeous decorations, such a set of clothes, wearing it on most people will be a little ridiculous, but it is just right for the former prince.

The only trace left on him by his career as a Taoist priest is that his appearance has hardly changed, and he is still about twenty years old, and he is a little feminine.

"I heard that you just arrived in the Imperial Capital, why did you come to the Wangshan Daoist Hall?" Xin Youtao turned around and smiled at the two people who walked in, not particularly enthusiastic or cold.

This is a small living room, the table and chairs are complete, the incense burner is burned in the corner, and there are several paintings hanging on the wall, the content is all the ice and snow, cliffs and nebula trees of Wangshan, the brushwork is concise, at first glance I don't feel how good, when I look closely, I find that it is lifelike, and there is a faint sense of attracting people's paintings.

"We're going to have a fight at the Wangshan Gym, and I was going to invite you to come and watch. Mu Xingqiu's tone was more formal.

Shen Hao looked at Xin Youtao sternly, and only said after a while: "Everyone says that you have changed, I want to know, who have you become?"

Xin Youtao showed a polite smile, and after everyone was seated, he said: "The environment is different, of course people have to change, I am now a talisman master of the Huangjing Dragon Guest Association, and the palm ink messenger next to the chief." I've been with talismans since I was a child, and learning the Tao was only a temporary expedient measure, but now that I've finally regained my true identity, I'm still more used to sacrificing talismans than casting spells. ”

Shen Hao didn't think so, and glanced at Mu Xingqiu, who didn't seem to be very interested. He said earnestly: "Xin Youtao, this is me and Mu Xingqiu, your best friend in Pangshan Daotong. No matter what happens, you can tell us that we will spare no effort to help you, even if it is the emperor and the chief arch master, you have to give the Dao Tong some face. ”

Xin Youtao shook his head lightly, "Shen Daoyou's words are not right, the reason why the world is peaceful." The most important reason for the prosperity of human beings is that the Dao Tong and the Longbin Society have been doing their jobs and not interfering with each other for 100,000 years. The two sides have formed numerous agreements to regulate every possibility and contingency, excluding who gives face to whom. I cherish my friendship with you and thank you for your kindness. But I don't need to. It was my dream to be a talisman master. For me, and for the royal family, this is the best result. ”

Shen Hao was speechless, finally believing that his former good friend had really changed, and he was like a Taoist priest in his memory.

Xin Youtao smiled again, picked up a cup of tea from the table, and took a sip, "Please forgive me for being rude." In his position, he must seek his own government, and I used to be a Taoist priest. Of course, if you have to think about Pang Shan and your cultivation, now that I am Master Fu Zheng, I have to think about Long Binhui, right? For example, the two of them, who used to be from Yelin Town, were considered subjects of the Xijie Kingdom, but after becoming a Taoist priest of Pang Mountain, didn't they also relieve the obligation of allegiance to the Xijie royal family?"

Shen Hao said coldly: "You came to see us just to say this?"

"Of course not, we are still friends in addition to our duties, and the Dao Tong and the Dragon Bin Association also need our friendship, after all, the agreement cannot solve all problems. ”

Shen Hao glanced at Mu Xingqiu again, and found that he still didn't mean to speak, so he stood up, "So, you're here to solve the problem, just say it, don't beat around the bush, you should remember the habits of Taoist priests, we don't like to go around." ”

Xin Youtao was still polite, "Actually, it's not a problem, Ding Wei, the Taoist priest of Wangshan here, has a lot of contact with the Longbin Society, and took a lot of writing materials from us." Well, there are a lot of materials, but it's nothing. This Daoist Ding claimed that he was not asking for these materials purely for his own use, but was doing something for the Demon Slaying Society, but I remember that when I left Pangshan, there didn't seem to be this Ding Daoist in the Demon Slaying Society. After all, we are friends, I don't believe in Daoist Ding, but I believe in you two, so ......"

"That's right, Ding Wei is working for the Demon Slayer Society, and he joined half a year ago. Shen Hao said stiffly and sat down again.

Mu Xingqiu spoke, still in a more formal tone, "Let me explain, I myself don't fully support Ding Daoyou's approach. ”

Shen Hao was slightly taken aback, and looked at Mu Xingqiu suspiciously, not understanding why he exposed the internal differences within the Demon Slaying Society in front of "outsiders", and soon he regained his normal expression, thinking that he was too impatient, and he didn't have the demeanor of a Daoist Xia at all, so he added: "That's the case, Ding Wei only represents a part of the people in the Demon Slaying Society, what about you? Who do you represent? Is it the entire Longbin Society, or is it a certain Great Fu Master?"

"Given the current state of the Demon Slayer Society, I don't think it's better for me to represent anyone. Xin Youtao said lightly, his eyelids drooping slightly, revealing the arrogant expression he had when he first arrived in Pangshan many years ago, "We know very well that the Demon Slaying Society is not an official branch within the Dao system, but just a group of ...... A loose organization formed spontaneously by people with lofty ideals. The purpose of my visit this time is to remind you as a friend that the Longbin Society must act according to the agreement, and the Demon Slayer Society wants to get support from us, and it is better to obtain a public status, anyway, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the High Daoists, don't wait for them to regret it when they are angry. ”

Shen Hao was silent, with a fierce glint in his eyes, he was now a Daoist priest of Xianxia, otherwise he would have pounced on this weird guy and punched him hard.

Mu Xingqiu smiled, as if he was very interested in this reminder, "Thank you very much, the Dragon Bin Society will soon find out that there is no obstacle to cooperating with the Demon Slaying Society, and everything is within the scope of the agreement." ”

"That's great, what Lombin would want is such a promise. The two of you still have to prepare for the fight, so I won't bother and leave. Xin Youtao got up and nodded to the two Pangshan Daoists, his expression remained unchanged, Shen Hao's fierce light could no longer affect him.

"Aren't you going to stay and watch the fight? Of course, as a friend, I don't think it will break any agreement. Mu Xingqiu also stood up and said politely.

"No, as a talisman master, it's better for me to forget about the spells in the past as soon as possible, and I wish the two of you success in success, no matter who wins or loses, you can create a career in the Dao system. ”

Xin Youtao walked out of the door, Shen Hao didn't plan to see him off, he stood in place and suddenly asked loudly: "Is there anyone else in Pangshan that you don't want to meet?"

Xin Youtao stopped, his shoulders straightened slightly, but he didn't turn around, and after a while, he shook his head gently, "I didn't see you at the beginning, why do you want to see you again now?"

Shen Hao watched Xin Youtao's figure disappear at the door, and said for a long time: "Can you believe that this is Xin Youtao?" There must be something wrong with it, but he looks so sober, and he doesn't look like he's being accused by outsiders at all...... Xiaoqiu, did you use illusion on him?

"I didn't use illusion, Xin Youtao is still a Taoist priest after all, and illusion magic is not effective for him. ”

Shen Hao sat down slightly disappointed, "I thought you didn't like to talk and you were quietly casting spells." ”

"Hehe, sometimes you can see something without casting a spell. ”

"What do you see?"

"First, Xin Youtao keeps saying that he is a Fu Gong Master, but he is actually a Taoist priest. A qualified talisman master always habitually recises his hands in his sleeves because of the frequent sacrifice of talismans, and Taoist priests prefers to pinch spells and cast spells, preferring to expose their hands to the outside. ”

Shen Hao suddenly said, "That's right, so the Fu Master likes to wear wide robes and big sleeves, Xin Youtao said that he prefers sacrificial talismans, but in fact, he didn't even restore the habit of sacrificial talismans." Hmm......" Shen Hao pondered for a moment, "what else do you see?" ”

"I can also see that when you finally said that there was another person in Pang Shan who wanted to see him, Xin Youtao was silent for a while, but he was not thinking about how to answer, but remembering who you were talking about. ”

"Are you saying that Xin Youtao didn't think of Xiao Qingtao at all?" Shen Hao was deeply surprised, but he didn't see it at all.

People who are tormented in their hearts will unconsciously bow their heads and lower their shoulders, but Xin Youtao straightened up, indicating that he was a little nervous, indicating that he was thinking about what you meant by that sentence. ”

So he deliberately replied to me with ambiguous words, because he was not sure that I was talking about Xiao Qingtao. Shen Hao stared at Mu Xingqiu for a while, "Stay with you, it seems that you are the Daoist of Dining Xia, and I have just condensed into a pill." ”

Mu Xingqiu smiled, "That's because I haven't seen Xin Youtao for more than five years, and I have been reminded in advance that Xin Youtao may be affected by spells, so in my eyes, every qiē is evidence, and I dare not guarantee that it is accurate." ”

"No, you have a point. But Xin Youtao is in the realm of Dining Xia after all, even your Mind Illusion is ineffective against him, who in the Longbin Club can touch him?"

"I don't know, this matter is in a hurry, since Xin Youtao took the initiative to come to see us to test his tone, then he will take action again in the future, wait for him to show his feet. ”

The two of them returned to the Doufa Hall, and the audience of other Taoist systems had already come, and since this was also a place for discussing the Dao, the Taoist priests who were interested in participating in the Doufa in a few days looked around carefully to familiarize themselves with the environment in advance.

Most of the Taoist priests were relatively quiet, even if hundreds of people gathered together, all they made was a peaceful humming sound, only Yang Qingyin was an exception, seeing Mu Xingqiu and Shen Hao walking in, she asked loudly at the other end ......of the Doufa Hall: "Where is Xin Youtao? Why didn't you come together?"

Shen Hao shook his head and walked away to find Ding Wei, there were seven or eight people around the Wangshan Taoist priest, who were listening to him whispering inspiringly.

Mu Xingqiu walked towards Yang Qingyin, there was a sentence he didn't say to Shen Hao: The Fu Master in the Longbin Society is not capable of controlling Xin Youtao, so what about the other Taoist priest? If the rumors are correct, Ding Wei has a very good relationship with the Longbin Society, this person and Shen Jiyi are the few smoke-swallowing Taoists in the Demon Slaying Society, Xin Youtao does not go to them to negotiate, but asks two former friends for an agreement, does this want to cover up?
