Chapter 0639 The Fastest Way
When the golem disappeared, Mu Xingqiu was waiting for Zuo Liuying to cast a spell on the bald man for the last time.
Zuo Liuying cast a spell on the bald man once every hour, and each time it didn't take long. He just tapped his fingers on the mucus shell a few times and it was done. He had to cast the spell more than 30 times in total. If it was a Taoist who was infused with spirits, the whole process could be completed in one go, but Zuo Liuying could only break it down into multiple steps.
The night at Zhanmo Mountain was always as gentle as water. Zuo Liuying walked around in the flower path as usual, occasionally taking out a bead and staring at it for a long time. I don't know what he was looking at, and he never explained.
The little demon Feifei was still thinking. He didn't know that he only had about a year to live. He was getting more and more immersed in practice. The phoenix egg in his lower abdomen was spinning like an inner elixir. He liked this feeling very much.
The flea still couldn't restrain his playful nature. I don't know where it ran to. Zhanmo Mountain created a complex and diverse environment with magic, which was very attractive to it.
Mu Xingqiu then found a place for himself and continued to imagine the magic spells he had learned, hoping to find out every change from the Demon Lord's righteous law to the mind illusion. He had made some progress, but he was still far from success.
This time he imagined mainly the magic illusion of the demon clan, which Zhou Qi had used before. It was quite similar to the mind illusion and could even fight directly. After obtaining the specific method, Mu Xingqiu benefited a lot from it.
The mind illusion was based on the bone-forging fist from the beginning. After that, no matter which level you reach, you have to cooperate with the fist moves if you want to use your full strength, unlike other Taoist magic spells that are so peaceful and casual. Mu Xingqiu was puzzled by this, until he understood the magic illusion of the demon clan, he realized that the bone-forging fist could stimulate the ubiquitous spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the body. In the practice of Taoism, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is only used to sharpen the inner elixir, but the mind-reading science is used to participate in spellcasting.
Mu Xingqiu didn't understand this principle before, and could only unconsciously stimulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in his body, with average effect. After understanding it, every punch and kick of his had a clearer purpose and doubled its effectiveness.
In fact, this fundamentally changed Mu Xingqiu's practice method. His Niwan Palace inner elixir could no longer be improved, and it would be decomposed and integrated into his flesh and blood bit by bit, but he could continue to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to make up for the shortcomings of the inner elixir and the lack of mana.
This will be a slow process. After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not as helpful to magic as pure mana. For Mu Xingqiu, this is only better than stagnation.
The eighth level of illusion can be used for eight purposes at the same time. Mu Xingqiu did not fully enter the state of imagination. He hoped that he could open his eyes at any time and not miss the awakening of the bald man. But for a while, he was attracted by the magic illusion of the demon clan and tried to cast it once with all his heart in his Niwan Palace.
The whole casting process did not take long. Mu Xingqiu did not have a demon seed in his body, so the power was greatly reduced when casting the magic spell. It was still more suitable for him to use the mind illusion. Next, he tried the flying technique of the demon clan, which was also mediocre, but better than the flying technique of the monster clan.
Then Mu Xingqiu woke up and found that Zuo Liuying had returned to the cave, which meant that the bald man was about to wake up, so he got up and waited at the door.
Feifei also ended her imagination, stood behind Mu Xingqiu, and whispered: "I hope the bald man is okay. He became like this in order to find us. Taoist Zuo has great magical powers and can definitely restore the bald man to his original state..."
Zuo Liuying would not make a promise about this. In the past few days, he was like Mu Xingqiu, and most of his thoughts were spent thinking about some confusions. Casting a spell on the bald man was just a side job.
The last spell was still over quickly, and Zuo Liuying walked out of the cave with his head in his right hand.
The mucus shell on the bald man disappeared, but he had not woken up yet. His face was ruddy, and his eyebrows were slightly smiling, as if he was having a sweet dream.
Feifei leaned out and stared at Zuo Liuying with Mu Xingqiu.
"We have to wait a while." Zuo Liuying handed the bald man to Mu Xingqiu, and paced back and forth on the old road again, looking like he didn't care about this matter at all.
The bald man was sleeping soundly. He didn't need to breathe, but he seemed to be snoring.
Mu Xingqiu was staring at him, and suddenly a terrified scream came from not far away. He immediately flew over, unconsciously using the flying technique of the demon clan. His body turned into a hazy smoke, wrapped around his head and disappeared suddenly.
Feifei was stunned, and even Zuo Liuying took a second look.
The flying technique of the demon clan is very strange. It is not a uniform flight, but a flight of a certain distance in an instant, staying for a while and then flying again. It is a bit similar to the teleportation of high-level Taoist priests, but the distance is far different, at least more than ten steps, and at most no more than a mile. Mu Xingqiu believed that even if he had a demon seed, the distance he flew each time would not be too far.
For him now, this speed is enough. After only two magic flying techniques, he rushed to the place where the scream came from.
Fei Zu, the demon king of Zhan Mo Mountain, was roaring angrily, "The golem! The golem disappeared! It was stolen! Who, who?"
There were only a few sorcerers around him, and like the demon king, they were confused and no one dared to answer. Fei Zu turned around and saw Mu Xingqiu who had just arrived. He first called out "Dao Zun" anxiously, and suddenly showed vigilance, "Yu Wang and Wan Zi Sheng Mu went to see Dao Zun. What did they say? Did they suggest not to fight Bing Kui? They thought that if the golem was stolen, we must retreat, and this battle can't be fought..."
"Don't rush to say the word 'steal'." Mu Xingqiu flew to the redwood where the golem was stored, and the magic circle disappeared, and there was no magic power around.
"It must be Yu Wang and Wan Zi Sheng Mu, as well as Hei Huang and those spirit monsters. They did it once in Bingcheng..." Fei Zu shut up. In Bingcheng, he also participated in the conspiracy to rescue Yi Shijun's soul and was one of the main people.
"Call all the monster leaders, immediately." Mu Xingqiu could no longer think of himself as just a guest.
Fei Zu looked up at Mu Xingqiu, "Was Bing Kui really created by Wangshan Taoist?"
"Wangshan's possessed Taoist."
"It's the same. A possessed Taoist is also a Taoist. There must be a monster who is afraid. That's it. Stealing the golem is not to save Yi Jun, but to please Wangshan Taoist. This battle, this battle... Is Zhanmoshan really going to perish?" Fei Zu glanced at Mu Xingqiu again.
Mu Xingqiu carries a curse, and wherever he goes, it will be destroyed. This is not only the idea of Wan Zi Sheng Mu, but even Fei Zu believes it a little.
"You stay here, I'll be back soon." Mu Xingqiu said that he couldn't come to a conclusion with Fei Zu, so he had to find other help.
After two magic walks, he returned to Zuo Liuying's cave.
"The restriction on the golem disappeared?" Zuo Liuying's reaction was the same as Mu Xingqiu expected. The strangest thing was not that the demons stole the golem, but that there were demons who could destroy the restriction. "I set up a gyroscope array. Although it is not top-level, no one can break the restriction by force unless they are Taoist priests. In the Battle Demon Mountain, you are the only one who has this ability."
Mu Xingqiu may have this ability, but he has not even tried it seriously. "What if someone knows the array? Can the restriction be easily removed?"
"Not many people know the array, only Yang Qingyin and I... Mu Songxuan woke up."
Mu Xingqiu looked down and found that the bald man was smiling at him.
"It's so comfortable. When I woke up, the place has changed. Where is this? Have we left Bingcheng?"
"This is the Battle Demon Mountain thousands of miles away. You have slept for more than ten days." Mu Xingqiu said with a smile.
"Ha!" The bald man jumped up and flew around Mu Xingqiu. "Finally I can fly again, Xiaoqiu brother, you received the water drop I gave you, right? A strange voice told me that this would help you, and told me what to do."
That was a soul of Yi Shijun, and it was destroyed by Zhou Qi soon after the message was delivered.
"It was with the water drop you gave me that I was able to defeat the enemy in Bingcheng."
"Haha, then I have made a contribution, right? It's a pity that I didn't see the process, Feifei, you saw... how did you become like this?"
Feifei smiled and shook her head, saying nothing.
Mu Xingqiu turned to Zuo Liuying, "I have a way to quickly find out who stole the golem, do you want to go over and take a look?"
Zuo Liuying shook her head and walked into her cave, without even asking Mu Xingqiu what his method was, and seemed to not care about the whereabouts of the golem.
Mu Xingqiu did not fly this time, but walked towards the place where the golem was stored. Baldy didn't know what was going on, so he flew closely behind Mu Xingqiu and began to frown to help him find a solution. The little demon Feifei hesitated for a while and followed behind him not far away.
Halfway through, he encountered a flea, which rushed over, knocked Baldy away with one horn, and then jumped up and gently caught him.
Dozens of demon leaders have arrived, divided into several groups, whispering to each other, and occasionally there would be glances from outside the small circle, all with obvious vigilance and hostility.
Seeing Mu Xingqiu coming, the discussion stopped, and Feizu said first: "Dao Zun, this matter can't wait, the golem must be found as soon as possible, Bingkui is not far from the Battle Demon Mountain."
Mu Xingqiu raised his voice and said: "Do you all want to find the golem as soon as possible?"
Hei Huang, Yu Wang, Wan Zi Sheng Mu and other leaders nodded one after another. Yin Buchen and Lao Zhuang were not leaders. When they heard that the golem was stolen, they also followed and nodded from a distance.
"Then I'm sorry. I'm going to cast an illusion on you all and find out what you've been doing for the past hour. It will be clear who stole the golem."
The monsters looked at each other. It was one thing to confess their movements for the past hour, but it was another to allow the illusion to enter their minds. Even Fei Zu, who wanted to find the golem the most, seemed hesitant.
"Then let's start with me." Baldy said loudly. He still didn't understand the details, but he didn't care about being checked by Brother Xiao Qiu.
"Be me, then I'll be the next one." Lao Zhuang shouted from a distance.
"I agree, but Dao Zun must promise not to reveal irrelevant memories." Black Phoenix was the third to express his opinion.
"I just want to find out the whereabouts of the golem. Other things... should be kept secret, and I only need one hour's memory."
Such a guarantee is meaningless, but if he disagrees, it will be suspicious. Fei Zu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then hand over the memory. Is Dao Zun sure that the thief is among these monsters?"
"Take it step by step. If everyone's memory is fine, I will expand the scope." Mu Xingqiu glanced over. If the thief was right in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to stay calm.
It's true that many monster leaders seemed panicked, but none of them looked like they had committed a serious crime.
