Chapter 259: Evil Spirits

"Mayor Wang is polite, I didn't expect that Your Excellency is still a warlock. Shi Mu glanced at the other party and said.

"When I was young, I learned some superficial techniques, which are not worth mentioning compared to Mu seniors. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Ying was angry, and suddenly changed his words and said:

"Senior Mu shouldn't be a disciple of the Stygian Moon Sect, right?"

"Oh, how can you see it?" said Shi Mu.

"As far as I know, in the Stygian Moon Sect now, star-rank warlocks like Senior Mu have basically gone to the relatively rich areas along the western coast, and they won't come to us. Wang Ying said with a smile.

"That's right, Zai Xia is indeed not a disciple of the Stygian Moon Sect, he just happened to pass by here. Shi Mu said.

"Then I wonder if Senior Mu can stay in this town for a while......" Wang Ying groaned and asked with some hesitation.

"There's still something to do, I'm afraid I can't stay here for long. This time, I mainly want to ask the mayor about how to get to the west coast from here, or information about the West Sea, and I hope to tell you one or two. Shi Mu said noncommittally.

"Senior Mu seems to want to go to sea, right?" asked Wang Ying.

"Not bad. Shi Mu said.

"Hehe, you can ask someone to help Senior Mu inquire about this matter, and then draw a road map for Senior Mu, as little as one day, as much as two or three days, and it will not delay Senior Mu for too long. During this time, can Senior Mu stay in this town temporarily and help more than 1,000 residents in this town find out the person who is possessed by evil spirits. Of course, after the completion of the matter, there is another thanks. Wang Ying said, stood up, and bowed his hand to Shi Mu.

"But I don't know the evil spirit in Mayor Wang's mouth. What is it?" Shi Mu asked.

"You see I'm really old and confused, Senior Mu is a foreigner. It's normal not to hear of evil spirits. In fact, the evil spirit is a special kind of necromantic creature, and the main body is a kind of ghost. There is no entity, and it likes to devour the essence and blood of living beings. The strength is not very strong. It's just that you can possess ordinary villagers and inherit their memories, and you can't see any abnormalities at all on the surface, which is unguardable. Recently, there have been many people in this town who have been sucked clean blood and turned into dried corpses. The old mana is low, and he has never been able to find the murderer, although he also asked for help from many disciples of the Stygian Moon Sect, but they were all sucked into dry corpses by the other party. Senior Mu's mana is strong. I guess you can find the evil spirit. Wang Ying hurriedly explained.

"Let's do our best. By the way, why are there necromantic creatures in the vicinity of Baifeng Town?" Shi Mu nodded, and then asked in a changing tone.

"Alas, not only this town, but now the entire ancient kingdom of Western Xia is full of these dead spirits, and they are not all thanks to the Tongtian Immortal Sect!" Wang Ying couldn't help but look angry when he talked about this.

"I wonder if you can elaborate on it?" Shi Mu showed an interested look on his face.

"Since Senior Mu wants to hear it, then the old man will repeat one or two. But when it comes to this matter, it's a long story......" Wang Ying sighed.

Through Wang Ying's narration. Shi Mu finally knew some of the situation of the Ancient Kingdom of Western Xia and the Dark Moon Sect.

It turned out that a hundred years ago, the Lushan Dynasty and the Tongtian Immortal Sect united the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Qin State and several small and medium-sized sects in the name of eradicating heresy. A purge and encirclement was carried out against all the Stygian cultists on the entire continent.

After several years of fierce fighting, the sphere of influence of the Eastern Sect of the Dark Moon was finally forced back to the territory of the ancient kingdom of Western Xia, where it originated.

Originally, the alliance was preparing to continue to break through the ancient kingdom of Western Xia. wiped out the forces of the Stygian Moon Sect, but the Heavenly Demon Sect somehow. Temporarily withdrew from the alliance, causing the alliance to nearly collapse.

The Tongtian Immortal Sect was unwilling to give up. Integrate the remaining sects, continue to take advantage of the victory, and march all the way to the main altar of the Stygian Moon Sect. The Sect Leader of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, the Dustless Daoist, fought a bloody battle with the Sect Leader of the Dark Moon Sect at that time, Dongfang Xian Tian, for seven days and seven nights.

As a result, although the Dustless Dao Man hit Dongfang Xian Tian to a serious injury, he also suffered a great loss of vitality.

In order to avoid the collapse of the Stygian Moon Sect, Dongfang Xian Tian spared no expense to open a huge passage connecting the necromantic interface, from which countless necromantic creatures poured out.

Although the coalition army was severely damaged in one fell swoop and forced it to retreat, due to the exhaustion of Dongfang Xian Tian's lifespan after all, he had time to completely close the spatial passage in the future, and the star stone energy was not exhausted, resulting in the continuous outpouring of necromantic creatures among them, scattering and wandering throughout the ancient kingdom of Western Xia, causing chaos in the world.

At this point, the vitality of the Dark Moon Sect has been greatly damaged, and the position of the sect leader is still vacant, the forces within the sect are divided, and the disciples in the sect have to fend for themselves in the country.

Many disciples are traveling between various cities, villages and towns to exorcise ghosts and demons for the people, on the one hand, they can re-sacrifice these dead spirits to improve their cultivation, and on the other hand, they can earn a little spirit stone and silver taels.

Some powerful people will choose to go to the West Sea to hunt sea beasts and make sacrifices.

Finally, under Shi Mu's questioning, Wang Ying told Shi Mu about the geographical distribution of the vicinity.

Shi Mu learned from this that this Baifeng Town is located in the northeast of the Western Xia Kingdom, which is the most remote place, there are no other towns nearby, and the nearest city is only Picheng, which is three hundred miles away to the east.

After the two chatted for a while, Shi Mu politely refused Wang Ying's retention, and after leaving Wang Ying's house, he went directly to the only small inn in the town to live.

At nightfall, the stars and moon were dark, and the sky and the earth were dark.

In the small courtyard at the entrance of a private house in the town, Tian Song, a horse-faced young man, was chatting with an old farmer who seemed to be loyal and honest.

Suddenly, a figure appeared silently in the small courtyard.

Both of them discovered the existence of the figure at the same time.

"Master Mu, why are you here......" Tian Song asked in surprise.

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Mu pointed at his right hand, and a white light shot out from his hand, instantly turning into a white gas chain, tying up the old farmer beside him.

"Plop" the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The old peasant fell to the ground at once, unable to move.

"My lord, spare your life, the little one doesn't know you at all, and he didn't offend you. The old farmer looked at Shi Mu in horror and begged for mercy loudly.

"Your Excellency, you ...... Why did you arrest my second uncle?" Tian Song took two steps back and said hurriedly.

"Save you!" Shi Mu said as he walked towards the old farmer.

Tian Song was stunned for a moment, at a loss.

Shi Mu looked at the old farmer at his feet expressionlessly, and the old farmer was looking at him with pity and fear on his face, and his mouth kept pleading.

Shi Mu was unmoved, his left hand suddenly grabbed the old peasant's head, and his five fingers emitted a faint white light.

The old farmer seemed to be stimulated by something, his eyes instantly turned blood-red, and he stared at Shi Mu's throat, as if he wanted to bite his throat in one bite.

Its mouth snapped open, and its sharp fangs quickly erupted, emitting a chilling glow in the blood.

"What is this?" Tian Song screamed, his face turned pale violently.

The white light in Shi Mu's hand spread out in the blink of an eye, turning into a white light that wrapped the old peasant's head.

Soon, Shi Mu's left hand snapped away, and a white light cluster condensed by mana flew out, wrapped in a virtual shadow formed by a cloud of gray mist.

As soon as the gray phantom left the old peasant's body, the old peasant immediately lost his breath, and a faint corpse aura surged from his body.

Shi Mu suddenly appeared here for a reason.

When he first saw the horse-faced young man today, he felt that there was a yin aura on the other party's body.

This is because he has been in contact with the necromantic creature for a long time to stay, so after he settled in the inn, he immediately used his divine sense sensing ability to quietly find the residence of the horse-faced youth.

Everything turned out to be exactly what he expected.

At this time, Shi Mu suddenly turned his head to look at Tian Song.

"My lord......" Tian Song was shocked.

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Mu swung out a strong wind in his right hand and swept over the back of his head.

Tian Song's eyes were dark, and he fainted.

Shi Mu didn't want to alarm the others now, so he could only let this Tian Song sleep for a while.

"Tell me, who commanded you to come? Shi Mu turned his head, covered the gray phantom with his divine sense, and said.

The gray phantom tumbled in place, and no sound came out.

Shi Mu snorted coldly, and as soon as his right hand moved, a reddish fireball appeared in his hand.

With a gentle forward slash, the fireball burned into the gray phantom's leg.

"Ahh

I said...... I said......" The gray phantom hurriedly begged for mercy.

......

After a meal, a two-storey attic in the center of town.

"Bang!"

Shi Mu kicked open the door and strode into the attic.

Shi Mu's eyes swept away, and then landed on a certain side room.

Squeak!

The door was opened, and a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a somewhat pale face, walked out of the house, looked at Shi Mu, and said:

"Senior Mu, it's so late, I'm afraid it's not polite for you to suddenly break into Wang's house, right?"

"Mayor Wang, do you know this thing?" Shi Mu stretched out his right hand, and a gray phantom appeared in the palm of his hand, and his body was bound by a white gas-like chain.

"Senior Mu is worthy of being a star-rank warlock, and it is really hard to catch the evil spirit so quickly. Wang Ying seemed to have expected it, and stretched out his hands to applaud.

At this moment, a gray circle with a radius of two zhang appeared on the ground where Shi Mu was located.

A cylindrical gray transparent light curtain rose from the circular magic circle, surrounding Shi Mu in it, and the next moment, the gray light flashed, and a gray-white circle of light appeared on Shi Mu's limbs at the same time, only to feel the mana in his body stagnate.

At the same time, the gray light in Wang Ying's hand flashed, and a gray bone staff appeared, and the gray light at the top flashed, and a gray mist appeared out of thin air in the void around Shi Mu, and four zombies emerged from it.

Directly facing Shi Mu was a gray-haired zombie, and behind him and to the left were three white-haired zombies.

The breath of the gray-haired zombie is the most powerful, with almost the early innate strength, and the breath of the three white-haired zombies is much weaker, but they also have the strength of the late day after tomorrow.

"Hehe, even if your mana is strong, now that your mana is imprisoned, you can only sit back and wait for death. When the time comes, sacrifice your corpse and soul, and you will be able to break through the bottleneck of the spirit level and advance to the star level!" Wang Ying's voice sounded. (To be continued.) )
