This old demon is also a witch, retaining the image of his life, standing on all fours, still having hands, a long neck, and a slender beard on his chin, if it is not the state of the undead, he should be a little happy.

Although he is dead, he still speaks the language of the Wu Clan, and he can still understand it.

Li Rui stepped forward and replied, "We have been entrusted by the priest of the Witch Crow Tribe to purge the undead in the ghost city. ”

"Ghost town."

"Hehehe, has Wucheng become a ghost town?"

The old demon smiled bitterly, "May I ask who is the priest of the Witch Crow Clan now?" ”

"Wu Huan."

"Ah, Xiao Wu Huan is already the chief priest, if you are not mistaken, it has been forty or fifty years since the great change in Wucheng, right?"

Li Rui looked at Cheng Mingyue, who replied, "Sixty and three years." ”

After the old demon asked about the current situation, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Time has passed, and it is all our sin." ”

He looked up at the ceiling steadily, not knowing what he was thinking.

Li Rui waited for him to settle down for a while, and then asked, "May I ask who you are?" ”

"It's rude."

The old demon came back to his senses, "The old man's name is to take Ya, and he is a star recorder in Wucheng, and he is responsible for recording the big and small affairs that occur in the city, and he also has the duty of observing the heavens and visiting the auspicious. ”

Li Rui said: "Fortunately, I will be lucky, take the old man, can you please tell me, what happened back then, in addition, I feel that the evil spirit here is different from that outside the palace, is there a reason?" ”

He didn't have time to grind now, so he directly asked the things he was most concerned about.

The old demon sighed again, and this sigh made even his soul become a little dim, and the three of them were frightened and comforted.

Toria finally said: "If you want to explain this matter, you need to start from the beginning. ”

"I still remember that it was midnight one day, and the old man was watching the heavens at home, deducing the blessings and misfortunes of Wucheng. At that time, it was inferred from the displacement of the star map that a great change was about to occur. ”

"Just when I was in doubt, I suddenly saw a meteorite descend from the sky and fall to the southeast of Wangzezhou."

"I immediately entered the palace to ask to see the city lord, and it was this decision that caused a catastrophe."

Li Rui asked, "The meteorite has fallen, and it is in Wang Zezhou?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"When the Witch King heard what I said, he immediately sent the Great Witch Fat to lead people to search for it, and finally found the thing that fell to the sky on the shore of the East China Sea. ”

Li Rui asked, "What is that?" ”

Toria glanced at him and said categorically, "Hoodoo! That is the root cause of the disaster of Wucheng. ”

He seemed to be a little excited: "This thing is a round jade ball, white on the top and black on the bottom, exuding a billowing evil aura. When I saw it that day, I felt that I should not stay long, but should abandon it in the ocean. ”

"But the general thinks that there is a powerful power hidden in that jade ball, and he should try to control it, so that the strength of Wucheng can be raised to a higher level, and even the unification of Wang Zezhou may be realized."

Cheng Mingyue beeped quietly: "It's very in line with the traditional plot of getting lost because of strength." ”

Takeya lamented: "The city lord listened to the words of the general, and ordered us to hurry up, study day and night, and explore the secrets in the jade ball. I felt that it was ominous, and I couldn't stop them, so I had to call it sick and stay home. ”

"Later. Hey, as far as I know, all the six auxiliary priests who were summoned to the palace by the city lord have not been heard from, and the Great Witch Fat is also closed, and it is rumored that he is riddled with diseases. ”

"Then more people disappeared, and from the north of the city onwards, rumors of evil spirits began to grow."

Speaking of this, he calmed down instead, "I appealed to the city lord and asked to stop the study of the jade ball immediately, but there was no response, and later, even the palace gate was closed, and my subjects could never see the city lord again." ”

"Despite this, evil incidents in the city have appeared again and again, and the general has led his own troops to suppress them, but people have always been panicked, and some residents have moved outside the city."

"Later, I tried to meet the city lord again, I thought I would still be rejected, but who knew that the palace issued an edict asking me and other city ministers to enter the palace to meet the city lord."

"I thought that the turning point had finally appeared, and I waited in front of the palace with the ministers to discuss how to advise, but who knew that the general suddenly appeared with troops and detained all of us."

A painful look appeared on her face: "Then, we were all beheaded in the temple and sealed our souls in the pot after being plotted. ”

"There has always been a cold and evil aura outside that continues to erode my remnant soul, and I have noticed that the ministers in the palace have already been transformed into undead spirits who only know how to kill."

Li Rui asked, "Then why are you able to retain your sanity?" ”

Quya replied: "That evil aura has been transformed by the city lord, and it specializes in eroding the demon clan who practice the secret method of Wucheng, but he didn't expect that in addition to the spells that all the monks in Wucheng have to cultivate, there is also an ancestral secret method in my family, called Guiyuan Hushou Gong." ”

"With this exercise, I will shrink my spiritual sense in the pot and not be invaded by external evils, and I will always stick to it, so that one day, if someone does justice, I can tell the truth."

Li Rui and the three of them were in awe, this old demon had been waiting alone in the lonely palace for decades, his consciousness was clear, and he even had to resist the erosion of evil qi, not only needed a strong cultivation, but also a strong heart.

Once you have the slightest idea of slackness, I'm afraid you won't be able to stick to it.

"How did the tribes outside the city understand what was going on?" ”

The three of you finished guessing the outside world one by one, and the old demon was a little angry: "What is defending the city!" The general conspires with the lord of the city to kill all the people in the city! ”

"But why? Is it a blood sacrifice or something? No, they themselves died. Cheng Mingyue asked.

Toya was silent, he shook his head and said, "This is unknown, when I died, I didn't know what the city lord wanted. ”

At this time, Xu Xiliang, who had not spoken, spoke: "I have an idea. ”

The other three looked at him.

"Do you know the Terracotta Army?" He asked.

As soon as these words came out, they looked confused, and Li Rui and Cheng Mingyue both showed shocked looks.

"Do you say?"

"Dare to ask you, what do you mean?" ”

"That's it."

Cheng Mingyue explained, "Your lord of the city, he wants to transform all his subjects into undead spirits, and then continue his rule. ”

"What?!"

Shocked, the soul of the revenant dimmed a little, "How is this possible, he."

The old demon thought for a while, and found that it really couldn't be refuted.

At that time, the city patrol general closed the city gate, not to clear the evil at all, but to slaughter the city. The ministers were summoned into the palace to be killed, and put in these soul pots, also to raise evil.

"I see, I see."

He lowered his hands in a dejected manner, "Wucheng is one of the strongest forces in the Eastern Wangze Prefecture, but it can't dominate the east, the city lord must have obtained some kind of power from the jade ball, and wants to break through the bottleneck in this way." ”

Perhaps for the city lord at that time, it made no difference between ruling a group of demons or a group of undead, and the key issue was still on that "meteorite".

If it weren't for the powerful power and evil aura contained in it, it would have been impossible for a great demon with a level 50 upper limit to accomplish this.

Li Rui said: "Don't worry, senior, a few of us are about to exterminate the guy who is called Woe Liu, and clear the evil qi in this city, but let me ask you first, the jade ball is still in the palace at the moment?" ”
