Chapter 0853 Let It Be

Mu Xingqiu's soul was flying in the endless clouds and mist, and the other two souls were flying towards each other, so far away that no one could see the other, and so close that their voices could be heard in their ears.

"Why does Dao Tong want to retire? This is the key to all problems." This was Zuo Liuying's voice, still so calm and indifferent, as if he had no idea about the soul leaving the body, as if he was talking to himself, "Dao Tong gave There is a hint that the last batch of Taoist priests left in the world only removed the Niwan Palace inheritance and did not spit out the inner elixir. Instead, they were strengthened and most of them rose to the Nine Great Treasures. For hundreds of thousands of years, generations of Taoist priests have worked hard. Keep nourishing them, probably just waiting for this day.”

Mu Xingqiu couldn't help but speak, "Does Taoist tradition have to hide and improve its realm?"

"There must be a reason for them to do this. Perhaps it is the restriction of the Nine Great Treasures, or perhaps it is the requirement of the spell itself."

"No matter what, the strength of all Taoist priests will be greatly improved."

"All? No, no, this is definitely not Taoism's plan. Mu Xingqiu, you have to understand that Taoism has always strived for excellence. They select one level at a time to cultivate the most powerful Taoist priests, but they are not interested in being eliminated. They are more tolerant and still allow them to stay within the Taoist tradition. It is just a test to prove that the nine great treasures are available. In the future, they will only be used on a few Taoist priests, and they will probably be limited to the Taoist priests. There is no need for too many Mang Taoist priests, twenty are enough. The first three ancestors may have expected that the strength of Taoist priests would decline from generation to generation, so they came up with the idea of ​​nine treasures. They cannot be used often because the power of the treasures takes a long time to be used. It takes a long time to replenish it.”

As usual, what Zuo Liuying said always made sense, even if it was just a guess, it was convincing. Mu Xingqiu basically regarded this information as fact, "Why didn't Daotong start improving his strength earlier? In this way, we can Destroy the demons when they first leave the void, and the entire world will not face catastrophe. "

"Why did the Taoists take away most of the Taoist priests when they retired, and even took away a group of children with Taoist roots?" Zuo Liuying asked rhetorically.

"To keep it secret.

"Well, that's one reason, but you still haven't learned to think about things from the perspective of a Taoist priest. Mu Xingqiu, you don't have to understand your friends, but you must try to understand your enemies."

Mu Xingqiu was slightly startled. Although he had had many conflicts with Dao Tong, so far he had never thought of using Dao Tong as his enemy. He felt that those conflicts were caused by misunderstandings. If the misunderstandings were eliminated, the two sides would shake hands and make peace. At least Independent of each other. Zuo Liuying woke up the dreamer with some words, and Mu Xingqiu discovered that his dependence on Taoism and the trust of the demon clan in the demon clan were the same thing. They were both fantasies when facing a powerful enemy. He took it for granted that another strong person Will be your own backer.

The Taoist clan and the demon clan are at odds with each other, but they have similar interests in some aspects. For example, they cooperate very well in destroying the sacred tree.

Mu Xingqiu did not feel disillusioned, but instead breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, he no longer needed to worry about gains and losses, nor did he need to hope for a miracle to happen at the critical moment. He only needed to try to "understand the enemy."

The truth is so clearly laid out in front of us, which is both surprising and logical. Mu Xingqiu admired Zuo Liuying even more. As a disciple of the Taoist sect, a prodigy who gave birth to Taoism in his womb, and one of the few Taoist priests who focused on spirituality, Zuo Liuying changed his mind faster than anyone else, even faster than the Taoism itself, because he was used to it. In order to use the simplest thinking to calculate, when the only possible conclusion is in front of him, he will never turn a blind eye for any reason.

"The Daotong retreat is not only to avoid the demons, but also to give the demons a chance. The two sides actually have the same idea: to eliminate humans and demons and rebuild a new world. For hundreds of thousands of years, the Daotong has protected humans with the purpose of selecting talented people from them. The number of disciples of Daogen is getting higher and higher, but the Daogen is getting worse and worse. Therefore, the level of Taoist priests is getting lower and lower. The Shen and Yang families hope to produce more wizards. This is not just the weirdness of a few Taoist priests. The idea was also a plan that the high-level Taoist priests had planned long ago, but they didn't want to waste time getting married and having children, so they took away ordinary Taoist priests. As long as time is given up, a few people can reproduce and create a world in which Tao roots are even stronger. It’s common and the qualifications are better.”

After saying these words, Mu Xingqiu felt sad. It turns out that the whole world is a room that needs to be cleaned in the eyes of Tao and demons. Human beings and monsters are both cleaning tools and objects. When the windows are clear and clean, there will be a When new owners are approved to move in, the Taoist clan and the demons compete for the right to move in.

Zuo Liuying took a more open-minded view, "The Taoists have no other choice. They hope to eliminate the demon clan once and for all. But if, like 130,000 years ago, there is still a remnant of the demon clan after the war, that means There is still a battle in the future. The human body will be even worse by then. The Taoist disciples alone will not be able to support the entire Taoist lineage. I am afraid that even the divine Taoist priests will be gone. Even if the nine great treasures are added, the Taoist lineage will not be a match. Just let nature take its course.”

"Let nature take its course." Mu Xingqiu thought this was the most cruel and heartless sentence in the world. "Why do you want to stay? Why go against nature?"

The clouds were shrouded and endless, Zuo Liuying said: "Because of you."

"I?"

"You can always bring about some surprises, proving that no matter how reasonable the calculation is, there are still some omissions. Daotong sees the greatest possibility, not all possibilities. Their approach is still a bit risky. Someone has to explore those seemingly trivial possibilities. , to supplement.”

"You are part of the Taoist tradition, but you are not sent by the Taoist tradition?"

"Let it be, Mu Xingqiu, you must understand this sentence. The Daoist tradition always lets it be and will not assign anyone to take risks, but there will always be people like you and me who take this step on their own. The Daoist fire will not be extinguished. The Daoist tradition ignites a raging fire. What I am looking for is the spark hidden in the corner. Who will eventually become the true successor of the Daoist fire is still unknown. Mu Xingqiu, the unknown is the biggest hope."

A crisp laugh came from the clouds and mist, and Mu Xingqiu knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

"Your topic is really grand, but there is not much time left. We should talk about something urgent." Long Mo said.

Neither Mu Xingqiu nor Zuo Liuying objected, so Long Mo continued: "Mu Xingqiu, I will leave the real and illusory body to you. You may need a few years to adapt to it. The good news is that you can copy your inner elixir. As for your flesh, I will continue to practice for you. One day when we exchange back, you will not suffer any loss."

"Have you made a plan?" Mu Xingqiu asked.

"Going all in is our plan." Dragon Demon's voice is always relaxed and casual, without any seriousness and earnestness of "going all in". "Go find the Demon Tribulation after you go out."

"Demon Tribulation?"

"Haha, let me say a few more words. Zuo Liuying also makes mistakes sometimes. The Demon Tribulation has nothing to do with the demons. It is a test of the strength of the real illusion. I originally thought that the descendants of the Mind Heart Department invented the real illusion spell because they sensed danger. Later, I found that there is a biggest problem in this statement. Why does the Taoist sect insist on killing all the Mind Heart Department? Why did the Taoist sect, which has always gone with the flow, act out of character?"

"I'm not as smart as Zuo Liuying, but this is the only reasonable explanation. The next question is, what is the Demon Tribulation? Why doesn't the Taoist sect like it? There is always a source of power. Where does the power of the Demon Tribulation come from? It is drawn by the real illusion, but not produced by the real illusion. It brings the spiritual energy of the world in Dali, but the spiritual energy of the surrounding world has not decreased."

"Do you have a guess?"

"I hope so, but I don't. The descendants of the Mind Heart Department probably also Confused, they just wanted to tap into this power, which caused a major conflict with the Taoist tradition. But none of this matters. Anyway, the power of the demon calamity is very strong, which can be used to deal with the demons, and perhaps it can be used to break through the prohibition of the Stop State. Zuo Liuying and I are still waiting for you to save us. "

"What should I do?"

"Go to Xingshan to find the Demon Cave, I have arranged it for you there. Uh... You have to understand that the so-called "arrangement" only means that the demon calamity is most likely to occur there. As for what will really happen, I can't predict it. You and the other real illusion..."

"Another real illusion?"

"Zuo Liuying's real illusion, she is still alive, I found it, it is in Xiaohao's body. If you two join forces, the possibility of successfully absorbing the demon calamity will be higher, but one of you will disappear completely, or to put it bluntly, die. As for who it is, Zuo Liuying and I made a bet, and I am optimistic about you. "

Mu Xingqiu was surprised. Since Zuo Liuying knew the whereabouts of Huanyue, why did he give up everything and enter the Stop State?

"No need to gamble anymore, you've already won." Zuo Liuying said. Before entering Zhibubang, he thought Huanyue still had a chance to win the competition. After seeing Mu Xingqiu's soul, he knew the outcome was decided. "Please tell her for me... No, there's no need to say anything, she will understand. She will end her fate, and I can also put my mind at ease."

"Why must one of us die? I can..."

"Hehe, we've talked too much." Long Mo said.

"Yeah." Zuo Liuying agreed.

A gust of wind passed by Mu Xingqiu, and he still didn't see anything, but felt a little dizzy.

"When you start to absorb the power of the magic calamity, you will remember all this." A vague voice said, and it was unclear whether it was Zuo Liuying or Long Mo.

The last voice Mu Xingqiu heard was from Yi Shijun, who finally discovered something was wrong and was shouting angrily: "This is not fair! Mu Xingqiu, Mu Xingqiu..."

Memories flashed through his mind, and Mu Xingqiu was still standing in the Xingshan Demon Cave, casting a spell to remove the spell memory from the minds of many humans and monsters. Granny Mei was dead, and Yuan Qijing stood there blankly, disheartened about the future.

Mu Xingqiu walked out of the cave, facing the wind and snow, and said to all the creatures on the island: "Go home, tell everyone and every monster you meet: October is the time for the decisive battle against the monsters."

There are still more than four months to October, and Mu Xingqiu will absorb all the power of the demon calamity during this time.
