Shen Mo has visited almost most areas of the Guimen Pass Secret Realm.
Tianshun Kingdom is the name of this secular dynasty, and its area is smaller than Qingzhou where Linjiang Sect is located.
However, things are not going well for Tianshun Kingdom!
The ghost spirit is permeating the air, the food harvest is impossible, and all living creatures are suffering as if they have entered a poisonous fire oven.
Mortals continued to die after eating tree bark and soil, others hung themselves in rivers in despair, and many were killed and turned into meat sheep.
Under the influence of ghosts and resentment, they turn into ghosts of all sizes, such as starving ghosts, hanged ghosts, green-skinned ghosts, etc., and come out to cause trouble and harm those who are still alive.
What surprised Shen Mo was.
70% to 80% of the mountains and terrain of Tianshun Kingdom match the ruins of Ghost Kingdom!
He even found the dilapidated ghost village where he and Chen Mengze rested, and there were still villagers alive at this time.
It's just that they all became red-eyed after eating human flesh, and their bodies smelled fishy and ghostly.
When he saw Shen Mo, not only did he not give in, but he rushed forward with various forged weapons.
They also clamored to taste the flesh of the immortal master and drink the blood of the immortal master to see if it was more fragrant and delicious than the flesh and blood of ordinary people!
Shen Mo didn't hold back, and a sword energy sent them to freedom.
"It seems that this Tianshun Kingdom is the predecessor of the Ghost Kingdom ruins!"
"But why is there no trace of the immortal cultivators? Not to mention the immortal disciples, not even the casual cultivators have been seen."
"People are no strangers to immortal cultivators. When they see me, they know how to call me immortal master!"
"Also, even if the world is so difficult, some people can still survive. Why will it be completely reduced to a ghost country in future generations?"
In the Linjiang Sect’s ancient books, words related to Tianshun Kingdom have never appeared.
I don’t know whether it’s because it’s too far away from Chi Yan Country geographically, or because it exists in an extremely old age.
When passing the capital of Tianshun Kingdom, Shen Mo didn't want to go down.
Unexpectedly, he saw a familiar figure at the top of the city.
"Ghost General?"
Shen Mo dropped his sword.
The figure first gave a military salute, then took off his mask, revealing a bright face: "I have seen the immortal master! The immortal master may have mistakenly recognized the person, the last name of the general is Zhang."
Although the armor worn by General Zhang is not as decayed and tattered as the Ghost General, it is indeed the same armor.
Even the broken nail plate on the left abdomen and the pattern and shape of the crack are exactly the same.
Moreover, Shen Mo had fought against the Ghost General and remembered its spirit appearance, so he would never mistake him for the wrong person.
But the ghost general’s scarlet eyes were full of anger and madness.
The general Zhang in front of him looked bright and warm.
Although his eyes are full of tiredness, you can still see the perseverance and compassion hidden under the tiredness!
"Oh, General Zhang is very similar to an acquaintance of mine. It is true that I was wrong, General, don't blame me."
Shen Mo nodded and returned the greeting, "I have traveled here and have many doubts in my mind. If the general has time, why not sit down and have a chat with me."
With that said, he took out the spirit wine and meat from the Qiankun bag and placed them on the ground at the head of the city.
General Zhang did not agree immediately. Instead, he called the soldiers on duty and whispered a few words before he bowed his hands to Shen Mo and sat down cross-legged.
Shen Mo heard it clearly.
He was telling the soldiers to always pay attention to the movements inside and outside the city gate. If any ghost appears, come immediately and report it to him.
"Gurgling!"
"Hiss~~~~good wine!"
General Zhang drank up the spirit wine in the cup and sighed in admiration.
"The Immortal Master doesn't know something. In recent years, the world has become more and more difficult. The imperial court has banned the use of grain to make wine!"
"By the way, the immortal master is going to Beijing to meet the saint?"
"Let me enlighten you! It has been more than a year in the capital, and no immortal master has come to the capital. Your Majesty will be delighted to see you."
Shen Mo shook his head.
With a click of his finger, the spirit wine in the pot gathered into a bunch, and he filled it up for him. He replied calmly: "I have no plans to go to the city. I will have a drink with the general here, and then I will leave."
The situation in Tianshun's capital city is not much better than that of other small towns.
It can be said that it is worse than anything else!
With a sweep of Shen Mo's consciousness, he discovered a large number of horrific things.
Among ordinary people, Yizi cannibalizes, human flesh stalls, killings and meat cuts... There are many tragic scenes, but this "best place" has no shortage of them.
There are also dignitaries who regard the people in the city as cattle and sheep, cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered for meat.
Therefore, he still lives a life of extravagance, lust and debauchery.
On the contrary, General Zhang, who was confronting him, did not have a trace of the smell of human flesh on his body, and was obviously still trying hard to maintain his integrity in the mud.
However, Shen Mo clearly noticed it.
General Zhang cultivates martial arts in the military. Even though he has the strength at the peak of the body training realm, the energy and blood in his body are extremely exhausted and decayed.
They are even worse than Gu Ming and Gu Chao who practiced evil skills and overdrawn their origins.
Obviously.
In order to maintain his peak strength when he was short of food, he was constantly overdrawing his energy, blood and essence.
Shen Mo's pot of spiritual wine can only provide some nourishment!
It’s just enough to extend his life for half a month.
Hearing that Shen Mo had no intention of entering the city, General Zhang had a look of disappointment on his face, but he quickly recovered.
After a few glasses of wine, his conversation became more and more exciting.
From his words, Shen Mo learned that his full name was Zhang Tai'an.
Take the meaning of "the country is peaceful and the people are safe"!
It's a pity that since he joined the army, the world has become increasingly miserable.
The harvest of crops in the fields is decreasing every year, but all kinds of ghosts, big and small, are increasing dramatically.
The main duty of Zhang Tai'an and other soldiers is to fight ghosts.
However, ghosts are always killing them!
As for peasant rebellions and other incidents that troubled other secular dynasties, they rarely happened in Tianshun Kingdom.
After all, the people don’t even have the strength to rebel.
And even if the rebels enter the city, there will be no surplus food in the city to plunder.
A few years ago, there were many immortal masters in Tianshun Kingdom who killed ghosts.
But now, they have all left Tianshun country, and I don’t know where they went.
Shen Mo is the only immortal master who has appeared in the capital for more than a year.
"General, there are ghosts in the houses in Gengwu Lane at the gate of the city!" A soldier ran quickly to report the passage.
"Master Shenxian, please wait for me for a moment. I will come back soon after I leave."
Zhang Tai'an grabbed the big halberd on the weapon rack, turned over and jumped down from the city.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Ghosts howl and halberds wave.
A large number of houses collapsed and exploded.
At this time, the ghost that appeared in the city was not the usual starving ghost or hanged ghost, but a green-skinned ghost.
It is not as good as the green-skinned ghost who was surrounded and killed by Shen Mo and others, and its strength is at the early stage of the second level.
Even though Zhang Taian has the peak strength of body training, he is destined to be no match for him.
"Click!"
The euphorbia was blown to pieces.
Zhang Tai'an was covered in blood and was beaten to the point of retreat.
Even so, he did not speak and sought help from Shen Mo, who was standing at the top of the city watching the battle.
As for the other soldiers, they couldn't help much. They could only fire arrows from a distance, which couldn't even pierce the skin of the green-skinned ghost.
"Shangqing Sword Technique, kill me!"
Shen Mo waved his sleeves, the dragon bird sword trembled endlessly, and the bright sword energy was slashed towards the fierce ghost.
"Gudong!"
The green-skinned ghost's huge head rolled to the ground.
