Chapter 0542 A Friend’s Reminder

In the dark night, with the wind and snow blowing, more than sixty Taoist priests lined up in a line flew hard, like a blue ribbon swaying in the wind, and their speed dropped significantly.

Mu Xingqiu flew in front on a flea. The wind and snow were indeed fierce, but he didn't feel disgusted. The howling wind and cold snow made his blood boil. His right hand held the handle of the whip, and the whip extended back more than ten feet. The Taoist priests all held it to maintain formation.

The flea was not afraid of the wind and snow. It lowered its head and charged forward with its two horns. Although it was flying in the air, its four hooves still moved habitually. It carried more than 60 people without feeling tired at all.

Little Artemisia followed the flea, holding the whip in both hands and flying with the crowd almost without casting spells. From time to time, she laughed happily and imitated the sound of the wind and made whining sounds.

Xin Youtao really didn't understand how Xiao Hao could be so happy. As soon as he opened his mouth, he poured in a mouthful of snowflakes. He spat it out a few times, but swallowed more. He couldn't care less and said loudly: "This is Zuo Liuying." What the hell? It snowed so much just after he disappeared, because he didn’t want us to go northwest. "

Probably influenced by Xiaohao, Gan Zhiwei, the forbidden Taoist priest flying in the middle, also let out a roar, and then shouted: "Don't worry about who caused it, I like this kind of wind and snow, the more violent it is, the more interesting it is!"

The other Taoist priests are a little embarrassed. They look like a group of young people, no one is over thirty years old. In fact, most of them are "old" Taoist priests in their fifties, sixties or even hundreds of years old. Since joining the Taoism, they rarely do anything without reason. He expresses his emotions freely and is much more conservative than a normal old man.

Xiaohao and Gan Zhiwei echoed each other in tandem and had a great time. Listening to the childish whistle of one and the high-pitched whistle of the other, Mu Xingqiu's long-suppressed playfulness suddenly increased, and he couldn't help but sing loudly. Howling, unknowingly joined the mentality of leading the beast to nine transformations. The howling sound was endless, one sound higher than the other, covering up the small wormwood and sweet smell, and also overpowering the violent wind and snow.

The bald man shouted, but his voice was too low, and soon there was only his mouth, no sound left.

"Another one is crazy." Xin Youtao said in surprise.

The Taoist priests were at a loss at first, then felt ridiculous, and slowly something began to stir in their hearts. They all joined the Taoist order when they were young. Their childhood companions were still catching birds in the trees and catching fish in the rivers, but they were working day and night. Cun Xiang cautiously groped forward in the mysterious Taoism, not daring to go beyond it, but the young man's heart that was broken in the middle was still there, and it was slowly reviving in everyone's heart at this moment.

Xiao Hao was not convinced, and injected magic power into the whistling sound. Coupled with the natural sharpness and crispness, it was able to compete with Mu Xingqiu.

More Taoist priests joined in, and their voices were not too loud at first, like patients who had been sick for a long time and tried to walk for the first time. When the wind and snow rushed into their mouths, and the cold hit their tongues and teeth, they discovered their ability to feel. Still there, so he screamed loudly, no matter whether it sounded pleasant or not, and no matter whether it was in tune with other people's roars, this was a competition, to be different, to be better than everyone else.

All kinds of whistling sounds sounded and merged into one. In this cold and dark night, it was like a group of arrogant monsters enjoying themselves in the wind. Real monsters would be afraid to retreat when they heard it, but normal Taoist priests would immediately summon magic weapons. Get ready to fight.

I don’t know whether it was the roar of the crowd that had an effect, or the time was up, but the wind and snow gradually stopped. The clouds above the head opened and the fog dispersed, revealing a sky full of stars, like a carefully polished mirror, covered with large and small stars. You can pick out a few gemstones just by raising your arms. The air is refreshing and refreshing, sweeping away all worries.

The Taoist priests stopped whistling and looked up while flying.

"My throat... cough cough." Xin Youtao also roared, and used all his strength. He felt that this was child's play and was not worthy of the status of a Taoist priest, let alone the status of a prince and a talisman master, but he was still happy from the bottom of his heart, " Xiao Qingtao, you are a pure Taoist priest of the Five Elements, why can't you control it?"

"Shh, I just forgot, don't make me think of it." Xiao Qingtao held the whip in one hand and raised the other arm high. Her slender fingertips seemed to be only a few feet away from the stars.

It has been several years since they learned to fly with swords, but this was the first time that everyone felt that they were "flying". The wind had stopped, Mu Xingqiu did not withdraw his whip, and the Taoist priests did not let go. They were still connected in a line, in an extremely unfamiliar place. In an environment where they were far away from their previous reliance and even burdened with unfair charges, they did not feel lonely.

Mu Xingqiu held the handle of the whip, and the weight in his hand became lighter and lighter. The Taoist priests were flying by themselves. He only had to simply lead the way. There was an inexplicable excitement in his heart. He was also a Taoist priest who traveled all over the country, but this was the first time. There is such a feeling: a brand new world is unfolding before my eyes, every step is an exploration, every step is a conquest, the scenery ahead is so rich and colorful that I don’t even have time to look back.

This is definitely not what a Taoist heart should feel like, but Mu Xingqiu doesn't care. He has never formed a true Taoist heart, and I'm afraid he won't in the future. He just wants to hold on to the feeling now.

The flea didn't scream, but it was more excited than the Taoist priests. It flew faster and faster, and its four legs swung more and more frequently. Under the fine scales, the muscles trembled slightly.

This is a rare moment. The demon-invading Taoist priests no longer feel that they are a forgotten, abandoned, and misunderstood group of people, but a whole, a whole that understands each other without the need for others to acknowledge it.

No one can explain why a snowstorm and a roar are more cohesive than a battle.

The starlight gradually dimmed, the bright moon fell to the west, and the wonderful moment ended - a five-element spell rose from the horizon, and the Taoists all knew that this was a warning from the Taoist tradition.

The flea stopped, and the Taoists behind him loosened their whips and flew to the wings, summoning magic weapons one after another.

"The Taoist tradition... is catching up." The words of Meng Xu, a Taoist from the Alchemy Department, reminded everyone that this is not another world after all.

Mu Xingqiu stood on the flea's back, "No matter who comes, what we have to do is not to regard ourselves as sinners. Maybe we should die, but we will never die as sinners."

The Taoists nodded and moved closer.

The spell on the horizon seemed far away, but the caster came quickly. A voice sounded in the dark night, "Is it Mu Xingqiu?"

Mu Xingqiu also heard it, and replied loudly: "Is it me, Shen Hao?"

There was no echo in the dark night. After a moment, a figure flew from the northwest - it was Shen Hao, and he was alone.

Shen Hao is the leader of the Demon Slayer Society. Mu Xingqiu, Xin Youtao and Xiao Qingtao regard him as a good friend, but the demon-invading Taoist priests are all nervous and secretly prepare to cast spells.

Shen Hao seemed to be unaware and flew until he was close before stopping in the air. He was fifty steps away from Mu Xingqiu. For a fight, this was a distance that was too close, but for two friends who had known each other since childhood, it seemed a bit far.

Shen Hao's eyes swept over and finally landed on Mu Xingqiu's face. He said calmly: "You shouldn't come here."

Xin Youtao was a little anxious. He and Shen Hao had a deep grudge in the past, but they have been very good friends over the years. "Shen Hao, you don't believe the Taoist nonsense and think that Mu Xingqiu has become a demon and Xiao Qingtao and I have become monsters, right?"

Shen Hao did not answer directly, still facing Mu Xingqiu, "Yang Qingyin doesn't need your help. Her parents have asked for the approval of the two Taoists who are willing to help Yang Qingyin reverse the monster transformation technique."

The Shen and Yang families are deeply rooted in the Taoist tradition. It is not difficult to ask the Taoists who are in charge of the gods to take action. Before, they didn't know the details of the monster transformation technique. Now that they know that it is a deformation of the magic of the demon clan, it is even easier.

Mu Xingqiu didn't speak immediately.

"Where is Brother Xiaoqiu? He took the monster transformation pill to save Yang Qingyin." Xiao Qingtao said.

"It is also for the entire Taoist tradition." Xin Youtao added.

Shen Hao shook his head, "Xiao Qiu's situation is different, he is not a disciple of the Taoist sect, so..."

"We have Zuo Liuying." Xiao Qingtao said angrily.

Shen Hao still shook his head, "It is not enough to have a Taoist priest who can invigorate the spirit. The reversal of the demon transformation technique requires the assistance of Zhaoshan's Great Bright Mirror. Zuo Liuying has also withdrawn from Pangshan, and Zhaoshan will not lend it."

Mu Xingqiu still did not speak. He was wondering why Shen Jiyi and Zuo Liuying did not mention the Great Bright Mirror. Yashan obviously intended to sow discord between him and Zuo Liuying, but why did Zuo Liuying keep it secret and use the reversal of the demon transformation technique as a condition?

Xin Youtao stared at Shen Hao, "Did the Taoist sect just abandon Mu Xingqiu? No, you have something else to say."

Shen Hao remained silent.

Mu Xingqiu finally spoke: "Speak, there is nothing to hide from them."

Shen Haoyuan wanted to talk privately, but Mu Xingqiu didn't appreciate it and could only sigh, "Do you remember Grandma Mei from Jinghu Village?"

"Mei Chuan'an's mother."

"Well, she didn't die. She became a captive of the demon clan. After taking the demon pill, she successfully transformed into a demon."

Mu Xingqiu was slightly surprised. As far as he knew, the demon pill had always had loopholes. He didn't expect that there was actually a person who really turned into a demon, and he was an ordinary human.

"What does this have to do with Brother Xiaoqiu?" Xiao Qingtao was deeply impressed by the crazy old woman who attracted the wolf demon.

"Grandma Mei's demon transformation technique is a bit special. It can infect other people. All humans who were locked in a cave with Grandma Mei were affected. Many people died because of it, and some people changed."

Shen Hao paused for a moment, observing the expressions on everyone's faces, and then continued: "It's all because of that spell. Grandma Mei also knows that spell, so she can successfully transform into a demon, and it can also be contagious. Yang Qingyin is fine, but you don't go to see her. All of you should have been infected."

The Taoist priests on the opposite side were speechless. They never thought that their bad luck was not over yet.

"Go to Bingcheng, as long as you promise never to come out again-" Shen Hao paused again, because things were also very difficult for him, "I will try my best to persuade the Taoist sect not to attack. Xiaoqiu, I need a promise from you."

Mu Xingqiu looked to both sides. If it was a few days ago, the Taoist priests would definitely be very vigilant and even angry after hearing such news. Now he saw sympathy and even a little excitement-because Mu Xingqiu was finally a group of people similar to them.

Mu Xingqiu hadn't recited the spell aloud for a long time, because it had long been combined with all his spells, and could not be forgotten or removed.

But his spell was slightly different from Granny Mei's, and the effect on the demon transformation technique might also be different. Mu Xingqiu did not mention the things he was unsure about, but said: "Tell me the whole truth, you still have something to say, I believe the Yang family can ask for the help of the Taoist priest and the Great Bright Mirror, but the Taoist sect must have a more important reason for saving Yang Qingyin."

Shen Hao sighed again, really hoping that Mu Xingqiu could be confused for once, "I don't know the specific situation, I just heard that it is related to Fangfang's soul. Xiaoqiu, be patient for once, the Taoist sect has already decided the ownership of the soul, you can't argue with it."
