There are a total of fifteen talisman towers in the imperial capital, distributed in a narrow area of less than five miles, each of which has a unique formal name, and also has a more popular common name, such as the tower where the chief talisman master is located every day is called "Mojun", the people only call it the first tower, Mu Xingqiu was invited to go to the "tube peep tower", when inquiring on the road, most of the pedestrians were at a loss, only a middle-aged scribe looked at him coldly, "You want to go to the small tower, keep walking, the westernmost one is." ”

More than that, the small tower is a seven-story stone tower, short and small compared to the other talismans, like a malnourished tree on the edge of the woodland.

A little further west from the small tower is the Imperial Palace, the area is twice that of the entire Fu Qi Pagoda area, and the buildings inside are older than the other, except that there are no high-rise buildings that can be seen everywhere in the imperial capital. Under the gaze of a group of "giants", the palace is covered by dense flowers and trees, and from a distance, the palace is like a forest in the center of the city, and if you want to peek into the secrets under the canopy, it is not enough to have eyes, but also to have powerful spells.

Mu Xingqiu's decision to meet the emperor and grandson alone made the Pangshan Daoists very uneasy, and before leaving, Shen Hao reminded him: "You are not a Pangshan Daoist now, and the Longbin Society can deal with you unscrupulously." ”

"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, Long Bin will be in civil strife at this time, and he doesn't have the energy or guts to deal with a Taoist priest who has just lost his identity. Besides, are you willing to avenge me?" asked Mu Xingqiu with a smile.

Yang Qingyin didn't like Mu Xingqiu to talk about the dangers he might face in such a relaxed tone, he snorted, and the bald man hurriedly shouted: "Revenge, revenge, we must avenge Brother Xiaoqiu and level the imperial capital!"

At the entrance of the small tower, there was already a Fu Master waiting for the guests, he obviously recognized Mu Xingqiu, bowed slightly, and let the guests enter the tower. Without saying a word, there is no politeness of a talisman at all.

Mu Xingqiu was teleported to the highest floor of the small tower, which was a small lounge, with windows open on both sides, letting in a cool breeze, and a young man sat under the west window, looking down on the palace not far away.

This is the emperor's grandson Fu Meng, he turned around and smiled at Mu Xingqiu.

Princess Saikaikoku once said that her future husband was "useless", and if she only looked at her appearance, her judgment should be correct. The emperor's face is slightly round, his eyes are big, and his expression is always like he is looking for something, and once he can't find something, he seems to cry or get angry.

It is said that the emperor's grandson is thirty years old, and he is still like a child who has not grown up, but he is the only grandson of the Fu royal family, and if there is no accident, he will inherit the throne sooner or later.

Pity. This is a time of frequent surprises.

"General Mu, catechumen, General Mu, Mu Xingqiu. Fu Meng uttered a series of salutations, then closed his mouth and stared at the guest with interest.

The room is small and exquisitely furnished, and every qiē object is short and small. Although there is no obvious woman's thing, it is filled with a thick fat powder gas, which is worthy of the common name of "small tower".

"What should I call you?" Mu Xingqiu asked, turning his head to look out the window to the east. I happened to see the first tower in the distance, like a strict father watching over his naughty little son.

"So you already know. Fu Meng sighed softly, his smile weakening. His eyes drooped slightly, and suddenly, the same countenance, but the childishness on his face was gone, replaced by a strange maturity.

Mu Xingqiu knowingly asked about the identity of the emperor's grandson, saying that he already knew the fact of "soul exchange", "Well, I know enough. ”

"The high-level Taoist priest shouldn't leak secrets to the low-level Taoist priest, who is it? Zuo Liuying? Or Shen Jixian? I guess it's the latter, he only learned some secrets in advance because he was acting as the Grandmaster of Pangshan-the Xingluo Taoist is not as calm as the Shenshen Taoist after all. ”

"You haven't told me who you really are, and I think that's a basic requirement for honesty. ”

"I'm ...... A talisman master, as for my true identity, I have experienced five soul changes, which one do you want to know about my identity?"

"Last time. ”

Fu Meng's smile grew again, still unwilling to answer this simple question, "My identity doesn't matter, your purpose is to save someone - it is said that he is your friend, I rarely hear this word from Taoist priests - shouldn't we talk more about this?"

Mu Xingqiu shook his head, "There's nothing to talk about about this matter, tomorrow, Xin Youtao, whom I know, will go to the Pangshan Daoist Hall to meet me, and I and the Pangshan Daoists will warmly receive him, that's all." ”

Mu Xingqiu deliberately looked very tough, wanting to provoke the other party's counterattack, but Fu Meng just thought for a while, and actually nodded, "Okay, as you wish, you will meet Xin Youtao you know." It's a pity that the Longbin Club hasn't had such a talented person for a long time. ”

For them, the "outstanding talents" they do are Taoist priests who have excellent physique and can live for three or four hundred years.

"It seems that you are a good talker. Mu Xingqiu's tone softened.

"Of course, I can't live for so long in vain. Solve the problem before it gets a big deal, and everyone will have no worries and effort. ”

"Aren't you worried that I'll get an inch?" Mu Xingqiu felt that this person was a little interesting.

"Anyway, you are a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest's 'ruler' is different from that of mortals, so I'm not too worried, of course, this is just my expectation, you are a unique Taoist priest, maybe the heart is blazing, so you might as well say all the requirements, you can talk about it." ”

"一qiē?"

"A qiē. In fact, we can provide a lot of help to Taoist priests, not to mention those precious and rare materials, let's just say that this Taoist robe on your body, which looks ordinary, and may not be picked up by anyone when thrown on the street, but is actually made of more than ten kinds of silk, cotton, and linen, in order to prevent it from being seen through by spells or witchcraft. Taoist priests are very concerned about their bodies. ”

Mu Xingqiu glanced down at his blue robe, he had never paid attention to this kind of thing.

"It's strange that I don't know who you really are, but I'm going to ask you?"

"It seems that the High Daoist priest didn't tell you everything. There is no 'me' here, only 'we'. We are a unit, ostensibly ignorant of each other, even hostile to each other, but in fact we have a common goal, which is to maintain the stability of the Longbin Society and the royal family. If you must know my identity, I can only tell you that I was originally a talisman master and had never risen above the sevenfold crown. I changed my soul five times in total. It's been three hundred and twenty-eight years since I lived, but I can't hold on for long, and I'll die if I change my soul once or twice, so I'm an old man now. ”

"I thought you would live longer than the high Taoists. ”

"'We' have indeed lived a long life, and so far we have lived longer than any Taoist priest, including the patriarchs of the past generations, but the lifespan of 'I' is limited, and I am looking for a suitable inheritor who will take my place when my soul is gone. ”

"Shen Geng is also one of your chosen inheritors, right?"

"He's been imprisoned in the Devil's Cave. What else do you want to know?He is a sinner of Pang Shan and your enemy, but from the perspective of the Longbin Society, we only see a different kind of scholar, ambitious, willing to make a deal with the Fu Master, what can you expect us to do?" Fu Meng kept a polite smile, but did not admit his mistake at all, this is their line, once crossed. There will be a heavy price to pay.

"You're right, there's really no need to mention him anymore. My request is simple, I want you to help me build an army and provide the manpower and resources that the army needs. ”

"You've got the Demon Slayer. A large group of Taoist priests are willing to follow you to slay demons, isn't that enough?"

"It's not enough, I need the Talismans and the mortal army to fight with me. ”

"Fight together, or fight with you?"

"Fight with me. ”

Fu Meng lowered his head and thought for a while. "To tell you the truth, your ambition is even bigger than that Shen Geng, so big that I can't give you an answer right away. Look at what the senior Taoists do, they support you, we follow closely, they watch, we won't take another step. ”

Mu Xingqiu has no higher requirements for the time being, and the high-level Taoist priests are in control of a qiē after all, not only the Longbin Society, but even those low-level Taoist priests who keep saying that they want to get rid of the shackles are also waiting for the high-level Taoist priests to make a final decision, and see what kind of Cheng dù they support Mu Xingqiu's independent special practice.

"There will be an answer soon. The conversation was supposed to end here, but Mu Xingqiu decided to ask again, "What is the status of Princess Xijieguo in your plan?"

"She will be a great queen. Fu Meng's expression became stern, quite incommensurate with his round face and big eyes, "This is a marriage that needs each other, the princess values identity, and she doesn't care who she marries, when she finds out that her husband still has some advantages, she will only be happy and will not be disappointed." I don't think you really want her to marry an incompetent grandson, do you?"

"The last time you turned your soul, you were the chief great talisman master, and it was the old emperor who occupied Xin Youtao's body. Mu Xingqiu said suddenly.

Fu Meng was slightly stunned, he had always refused to reveal the truth, but he didn't expect to be guessed by Mu Xingqiu, "Where did I say that I leaked my mouth?"

"You didn't reveal much, you said that you were a talisman master with less than seven crowns in your first life, and the soul exchange is coming to an end, I think you must be sorry before you die, wear the highest talisman crown, and then you will be the emperor again. ”

"Hehe, I guessed for you. ”

"I guess there is an order here, when you get the ability to change souls, you are an ordinary talisman master, and then every time you change your soul, you will improve your status until you become an emperor, and then your ability will decline, and you have to find a young man with a good physique to 'retire' and play the role of 'enemy' casually. You change your soul five times, and you can change it again or twice, which means that there are six or seven of you in total, and each of you can rotate once in that order, and that's how you stay steady and like one person. The princess will be a great queen, but she is not your person, so her power must be weakened, and Xin Youtao naturally cannot hold power in the Longbin Society. But why did you engrave her with a bone talisman?"

Fu Meng's expression stiffened, "Only in this way can the princess and Xin Youtao be incompatible, in short, she will not die...... I don't think we need to wait for the Shintoists to make a decision, we can talk about the army you're going to build now. What is your goal? to defeat Qi Wusupreme, to recapture the ancestral land of Pangshan, or to go further?"

The east and west windows closed automatically, Mu Xingqiu took a round stool, and sat down for the first time after entering the tower, "I want to lead the army to the end of the demon land, and directly face the demon suppression bell in Wangshan." ”
