Exorcism

Xiaoqiu stayed for a while, then pulled out the rattan box under the bed and stuffed the black candle and the note in it.

While washing, he came up with a sentence: "Cultivation is everything, and those who make rapid progress are princes." Only later did he remember that this sentence was said by Xin Youtao.

If Granny Feng had given this gift two years ago, Xiaoqiu would have been very moved. Now that Sun Dujiao has happened, he can't even be sure whether the candle really came from Granny Feng. Maybe it was just a way to show goodwill to Luan Jingshan. .

Is a disciple of Huotong Santian worth such a fight?

Xiao Qiu was puzzled. There was another disciple of Yangshen Peak who had passed through the tribulation half a year ago, and had successfully survived the tribulation. This person was Shen Ji, but he seemed to have never received the same treatment. All the disciples praised him in public. But I have never heard of a fierce competition for him to be the first in any subject.

Xiaoqiu placed the Qingxin Baiye candle given to him by Lin Dujiao on the table, and went back to bed to meditate. After a while, the candle on the table lit itself, releasing a soft yellowish light that filled the entire room. Premises.

His mind jumped again. If it was normal, Xiaoqiu would wake up from his thoughts, but this time he was not interrupted and did not open his eyes until late at night.

The Qingxin Baiyezhu was almost undiminished and seemed to last for a long time. It was indeed effective, but it failed to allow Xiaoqiu to find out the source of the beating.

Three days later in the afternoon, Lin Dujiao obtained permission and took Xiaoqiu into the Patriarch Tower alone, using the Liuguang Treasure Mirror to wash away all possible spells on Xiaoqiu's body.

The two of them stood in the middle of the tower. Xiaoqiu looked up and looked around, but she didn't feel that it was too empty. The pictures and texts on the tower wall gradually appeared, flickering slightly, like stars in the sky.

Lin Sa began to take out one magical weapon after another: a copper bell, a copper lamp, two candles, two yellow orbs, and three bronze mirrors, all floating in the air, surrounding Xiaoqiu.

Lin Sa held an iron ruler in her right hand, put a paper talisman on Xiaoqiu's back, and said: "Go around in a circle and think about each subject."

In such a situation, it is difficult to remain completely calm.

Xiaoqiu calmed down and went to the Forbidden Secret Area first. As usual, he could see all the characters and their origins below the third generation of ancestors, but he could not read the small characters recording the deeds. Even if he entered the state of imagination, he could not get it. Inspiration.

Lin Sa danced the iron ruler in his hand in a stiff and weird posture. After each movement, he would pause for a moment, put his feet on the seven stars, and hummed a sutra on subduing demons in his mouth. After one repetition, he woke up Xiaoqiu and motioned him to move to the next step. area.

There were a total of eighteen subjects, and it took a lot of time to complete them all. Finally, the two of them came to the Nianxin Department. Xiaoqiu deliberately put this at the end, just not wanting any more weird things.

Looking at the wall of the tower, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but sigh. If the first seventeen subjects had discovered something, the Tujiao would have told him at that time. Then the problem was probably still related to these twenty-nine female heirs.

"Don't sigh. We are here to find and solve problems, not to admit our mistakes." Lin Sa said from behind Xiaoqiu. The test was obviously very mana-consuming, and a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"Yes, all teach." Xiaoqiu concentrated into a state of contemplation and faced the successors of the Nianxin Department with an unconvinced attitude.

Usually, these twenty-nine women are always practicing bone-forging fists with slightly different routines, but today they did not move, and their faces returned to the original sadness, as if they had acquiesced to their own failure and planned to give up recruiting successors.

At this moment, the beating in Xiaoqiu's head started again, and it didn't stop after that.

Then he jumped a dozen times in a row, like a fierce war drum, forcing Xiaoqiu out of his state of unconsciousness!

With a thud, Xiaoqiu fell to the ground, her face even redder than Lin Sa's, her heart pounding, her chest rising and falling violently like a bellows, and she had to open her mouth and gasp for air to relieve the tightness in her chest.

Lin Sa did not come to help, but suddenly changed his pace, walking solemnly, as if he was carrying a heavy weight. The iron ruler in his hand danced like a whirlwind. The magic weapons hanging in the air shined brightly, making the inside of the tower as bright as day. The pictures and text on the wall were dim.

"Death can't live, death can't continue, the ancestor defends the body, and the soul retreats!" Lin Sa finished chanting the sutra, and suddenly read sixteen words in a loud voice. Then the light dispersed and he stopped walking. After a while, he He was covered in sweat, and most of his robe was soaked like rain.

"Huh?" Xiaoqiu felt that the feeling of depression in her heart was gone. She stood up straight and raised her hand to touch her head. "It seems... something seems to have left."

Lin Sa smiled and said, "This is a soul-linking technique. I have cut it off, so there should be no more problems."

"The art of soul connection? Doesn't the soul disappear after death?"

Lin Sa put away all the magic weapons and gasped slightly, "This is true for ordinary people and ordinary Taoist priests, but for these people who can leave their names in the Patriarch's Tower -"

Glancing at the wall of the tower, Lin Sa showed obvious envy, "Their souls are immortal and attached to the tower in a special way to help the younger generations practice. This is one of the most important reasons for the growing strength of the Taoist tradition. . But there is some ‘help’ that we don’t want, so we have to make it clear.”

Lin Sa laughed loudly and walked towards the center of the Patriarch Tower with Xiaoqiu. "This is why only Taoist priests who are devoted to the spirit can leave their names in the tower. They have got rid of the worldly desires and are burning with the Taoist fire. And these souls There is no memory or thinking, just a guiding force. They are no longer human beings, nor are they ordinary souls.”

"The names of many living people are also on it."

"Don't worry, the souls of these people are still in their bodies. Their names are just pre-recorded on them. If an accident occurs, such as being possessed by a demon, their names may disappear."

"Nian Xin Ke will never interfere with me again, right?"

"I don't think so." Lin Sa took Xiaoqiu's arm, and they jumped up together, crossing the Liuguang Treasure Mirror and returning to Sizu Hall.

The disciples were all having sutra chanting classes in the Qiyao Hall. The Sizu Hall was empty, and the strong Lin Dujiao looked very small standing there.

"Go back and rest. There is no need for afternoon classes."

Xiaoqiu agreed, then remembered that she still had something to ask, and took out the magic black candle from her arms, "Luanjing Mountain Feng Ruhui gave it to me. Sun Dujiao didn't say it, but I think she put it there." In my house."

Lin Sa did not take the candle. She muttered the name "Feng Ruhui" again, as if she was not very familiar with her. Then she smiled and said: "This is a precious gift, accept it. The black candle can summon the gods." It attracts the Patriarch to protect the body. It has a miraculous effect when you light it when you are going through the tribulation. If you still can't go through the tribulation again after a while, you might as well use it, but be careful. It burns very quickly and can be used up basically in one go. It will make you feel uneasy. Or don’t use it when it will be disturbed by the outside world, it is a huge waste. "

That night, Xiaoqiu stayed in Banyuelin for a while, waiting for Fangfang to come.

Xiao Qingtao already had experience, and said with a smile: "I'll go over there to practice. You guys talk here. Find me later, but don't sneak away again."

Both of their faces were a little red, and they didn't speak until Xiao Qingtao was far away.

"Did Granny Feng give you a gift?"

"Well, a magical night watch lamp is said to be able to warn monsters and ghosts within a hundred miles."

Both of them had gifts, which showed that they were indeed given by Granny Feng. Luanjingshan had no reason to win over Fangfang. Xiaoqiu put down one thing and scratched his head, "Mine is a black candle that summons the gods. Lin Du teaches that it is very valuable. Granny Feng...why did you send it to me?"

"She didn't say it, so we don't have to guess. Just use it." A smile appeared on Fangfang's lips, as if she found Xiaoqiu's seriousness very interesting.

"Have you decided which subject to go to?" Fangfang guessed what Xiaoqiu was thinking.

This is what Xiaoqiu really wants to talk about. The Forbidden Secret Department only accepts one disciple, and he can't go if he goes to Fangfang. Fangfang likes the Forbidden Secret Department very much and has been called by the Forbidden Secret inheritance.

But in the future, the forbidden secret department will be full of dangers. Zuo Liuying's behavior is a bit half-crazy. He imagined a wife for himself, and because his wife was kidnapped by the demons and he wanted to start a war, he also treated the young man from Yelin Town. With deep vigilance.

Even without the help of Professor Lin in the past two years, Xiaoqiu would never want Fangfang to enter the forbidden secret department.

"Fangfang, I want to enter the forbidden secret department."

"Okay, you should have decided a long time ago." Fangfang didn't care at all. "Both the teachers from the chanting department and the Five Elements department have approached me and said they were planning to choose me as their disciple."

"Jiao Yang?"

"Well, she has probably guessed your choice, so she has to prepare another disciple. This is a common practice before selecting a disciple in each subject. I heard that Honglu Kedujiao has communicated privately with at least ten disciples. They are ranked first this year. Ninth place, it’s a bit difficult to get a suitable disciple.”

The selection of apprentices from Pangshan's ten subjects is in order and rotates every year. This year, the Forbidden Secrets Department ranks first, and the Five Elements Department ranks second. anshcom This is one of the most important reasons why they are ready to admit defeat when they compete for Mu Xingqiu.

Another important reason is Xiaoqiu's own choice.

The first disciple chooses the disciple, and the disciples also choose the first disciple. Occasionally, it happens that a certain disciple just doesn't like a certain subject. When communication is ineffective, the first disciple of the subject has no choice but to give up, so as to avoid embarrassment during the public selection of disciples.

"I should have made a choice long ago." Xiaoqiu shook her head, "Actually, I told Yang Dujiao not to send me anything anymore, but she always told me not to worry and think about it again. Alas, now I feel like a liar."

"As I said before, use it first. Wuxingke is well aware of your choice. They are willing to give you five sections of green wood ointment for a glimmer of hope. That is not your fault. Besides - they have all been used up. There’s no point in feeling guilty.”

Xiaoqiu originally wanted to comfort Fangfang, but in the end he got more comfort from her.

The next day, Xiaoqiu went to see Lin Dujiao and said that he would join the Forbidden Secret Division during the apprenticeship selection in October. Lin Sa was so happy that he did not hide it. He patted him on the shoulder more than ten times and said, "Forbidden Secret Division for several years." I haven’t chosen a suitable disciple. From now on, you don’t need to call me Dujiao. You have to call me senior brother instead.”

The Pangshan disciples were ranked according to their seniority after becoming their first disciple. Before, they were all ordinary disciples. Xiaoqiu smiled and felt that she would not be able to change her tune for a while.

Next, Xiaoqiu found an opportunity to tell Yang Baozhen her final decision. She still looked indifferent, "I will tell the leader." Then she paused, and for the first time, there was a sarcastic smile on her lips, "I think he will Said you made the decision too early."
