"Mayor Wang is so polite. I didn't expect that you are also a sorcerer." Shi Mu looked at the other person and said.
"I learned some rudimentary techniques when I was young, but they are nothing compared to Senior Mu."
Having said this, Wang Yingying became angry and suddenly changed the subject:
"Senior Mu shouldn't be a disciple of the Ming Yue Sect, right?"
"Oh, how can you see it?" Shi Mu said.
"As far as I know, in the Ming Yue Sect, star-level warlocks like Senior Mu have basically gone to the relatively rich areas on the west coast and will not come to us." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"Yes, I am indeed not a disciple of the Ming Yue Sect. I just happened to pass by this place." Shi Mu said.
"Then I wonder if Senior Mu can stay in this town for a while..." Wang Ying pondered for a while and asked hesitantly.
"I still have something to do, so I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long. The main reason I came to bother you this time is to ask the mayor about how to get to the west coast from here, or about information about the West Sea." Shi
Mu said noncommittally.
"Senior Mu seems to want to go to sea, right?" Wang Ying asked.
"Not bad." Shi Mu said.
"Haha, I can ask someone to help Senior Mu find out something about this matter. Then I can draw a route map for Senior. It can take as little as one day or as long as two or three days. It will not delay Senior Mu for too long. This
Within a period of time, can Senior Mu stay in this town temporarily and help the more than a thousand residents of this town find the person who is possessed by the evil spirit? Of course, after this is done, I will thank you." Wang Ying said,
He stood up and cupped his hands towards Shi Mu.
"But I don't know what the evil spirit that Mayor Wang mentioned is?" Shi Mu asked.
"You see, I am really old and confused. Senior Mu is a foreigner. It is normal that he has never heard of evil spirits. In fact, evil spirits are a special kind of undead creature. They are a kind of ghost, without entity, and they like to eat living things by nature.
Essence and blood. The strength is not very strong. It can only possess ordinary villagers and inherit their memories. There is no abnormality at all on the surface, which is hard to detect. Recently, people in this town have been sucked out of the essence and blood and turned into mummies. The old man has low magic power.
, the murderer has never been found. Although many disciples of the Ming Yue Sect were asked for help, they were all sucked into mummies by the other party. Senior Mu has great magic power, so he must be able to find the evil spirit." Wang Ying explained quickly.
"I'll do my best. By the way, why are there undead creatures near Baifeng Town?" Shi Mu nodded, and then asked in a different direction.
"Alas, not just this town, the entire ancient Xixia Kingdom is now filled with these undead spirits, and they are all thanks to the Tongtian Immortal Sect!" Wang Ying couldn't help but look angry when he talked about this matter.
"I wonder if your Excellency can elaborate?" Shi Mu's face showed interest.
"Since Senior Mu wants to hear it, I will tell you a few details. But it would be a long story..." Wang Ying sighed.
Through Wang Ying's narration, Shi Mu finally learned about the ancient Xixia Kingdom and the Mingyue Sect.
It turns out that a hundred years ago, the Lushan Dynasty and the Tongtian Immortal Sect united with the Heavenly Demon Sect of the Great Qin Kingdom and several small and medium-sized sects to launch a campaign to eliminate all the Moon Cultists on the entire continent in the name of eradicating heresy.
After several years of fierce fighting, the influence of the Ming Yue Eastern Sect was finally forced back into the ancient Xixia Kingdom where it originated.
Originally, the alliance was planning to continue to invade the ancient Xixia Kingdom and wipe out all the forces of the Mingyue Sect. However, for some unknown reason, the Tianmo Sect temporarily withdrew from the alliance, causing the alliance to almost collapse.
Unwilling to give up, the Tongtian Immortal Sect integrated the remaining sects and continued to pursue the victory. They advanced all the way to the main altar of the Mingyue Sect. The leader of the Tongtian Immortal Sect, Taoist Wuchen, fought a bloody battle with the then leader of the Mingyue Sect, Dongfang Xiantian, for seven days and seven nights.
As a result, although Taoist Wuchen severely injured Dongfang Xiantian, his own vitality was also greatly damaged.
In order to avoid the collapse of the Mingyue Sect, Dongfang Xiantian opened a huge channel to the undead interface at the cost of his life, from which countless undead creatures poured out.
Although the coalition forces were severely damaged and forced to retreat, because Dongfang Xiantian finally ran out of life, he would not be able to completely close the space channel in the future, and the energy of the star stone was not exhausted, causing the undead creatures to continue to pour out, spreading throughout the entire space.
The ancient Xixia Kingdom was scattered and wandering around, causing great chaos in the world.
With this battle, the vitality of the Mingyue Sect was greatly damaged. The position of the leader is still vacant, the power within the sect is divided, and the disciples of the sect have no choice but to fend for themselves in the country.
Many disciples are traveling in various cities, villages and towns, exorcising ghosts and subjugating demons for the people. On the one hand, they can re-sacrifice these dead souls to improve their own cultivation, and on the other hand, they can earn some spiritual stones and silver.
Some powerful people will choose to go to the West Sea to hunt sea beasts and perform life sacrifices.
Finally, under Shi Mu's questioning, Wang Ying told Shi Mu about the geographical distribution of the area.
Shi Mu learned from this that Baifeng Town was located in the northeast of Xixia Kingdom, which was the most remote place. There were no other towns nearby, and the closest city was Picheng, three hundred miles away to the east.
After the two chatted for a while, Shi Mu politely declined Wang Ying's offer to stay. After leaving Wang Ying's house, he went directly to the only small inn in the town to stay.
When night fell that day, there was no light from the stars and the moon, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.
In a small courtyard in front of a house in the town, Tian Song, a horse-faced young man, was chatting with an old farmer who looked honest and honest.
Suddenly, a figure appeared silently in the small courtyard.
The two of them discovered the presence 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 his right hand, and a ray of white light shot out from his hand, instantly turning into a white air chain and tying up the old farmer next to him.
There was a "plop" sound as a heavy object fell to the ground.
The old farmer suddenly fell to the ground, unable to move.
"Sir, please forgive me. I don't know you at all, and I have never offended you." The old farmer looked at Shi Mu in horror and begged for mercy loudly.
"Sir, you...why do you want to arrest my second uncle?" Tian Song took two steps back and asked anxiously.
"Save you!" Shi Mu said as he walked towards the old farmer.
Tian Song froze on the spot for a moment, at a loss.
Shi Mu looked at the old farmer at his feet expressionlessly. At this time, the old farmer was looking at him with a look of pity and fear, and kept begging.
Shi Mu was unmoved and suddenly grabbed the old farmer's head with his left hand, his fingers glowing with 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 off.
Its mouth suddenly opened, and its sharp fangs quickly grew out, giving off a cold light that penetrated the blood.
"What is this?" Tian Song screamed, his face turning pale.
The white light on Shi Mu's hand spread out in the blink of an eye, turning into a sheet of white light that enveloped the old farmer's head.
Soon, Shi Mu pulled back his left hand fiercely, and a white light ball condensed by mana flew out, which was wrapped in a virtual shadow formed by gray mist.
As soon as the gray shadow left the old farmer's body, the old farmer immediately lost his breath, and a faint corpse aura surged from his body.
There is naturally a reason why Shi Mu suddenly appeared here.
When he first met the horse-faced young man today, he felt that there was a vague yin energy in him.
It was only possible to stay after long-term contact with undead creatures, so after he settled in the inn, he immediately used his spiritual sense ability to quietly find the residence of the horse-faced young man.
Everything turned out as he expected.
At this time, Shi Mu suddenly turned his head and looked at Tian Song.
"Sir..." Tian Song was shocked.
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Mu swung a strong wind with his right hand and swept it across the back of his head.
Tian Song's vision went dark and he fainted.
Shi Mu didn't want to alarm others now, so he could only let Tian Song sleep for a while.
"Tell me, who ordered you to come?" Shi Mu turned around, covered the gray shadow with his consciousness, and said.
The gray shadow rolled in place, and no sound was heard.
Shi Mu snorted coldly, moved his right hand, and a red fireball appeared in his hand.
Slowly moving forward, the fireball burned the gray shadow's legs.
"Ah!" A shrill scream sounded in Shi Mu's mind.
"I said...I said..." The gray shadow quickly begged for mercy.
…
After a meal, a two-story attic in the center of town.
"Bang!"
Shi Mu kicked open the door and strode into the attic.
Shi Mu glanced around and immediately landed on a certain wing.
A squeak!
The door was opened, and a young man in his mid-twenties with a somewhat pale face walked out of the house. He looked at Shi Mu and said:
"Senior Mu, it's so late for you to suddenly break into Wang's home. I'm afraid it's not very polite, right?"
"Mayor Wang, do you recognize this object?" Shi Mu stretched out his right hand, and a gray shadow appeared in his palm, and his whole body was bound by a white gas-like chain.
"Senior Mu deserves to be a star-level warlock. It's really hard to catch the evil spirit so quickly." Wang Ying seemed to have expected it, and he stretched out his hands to applaud.
At this moment, a gray circular formation with a radius of two feet appeared on the ground where Shi Mu was.
A cylindrical gray transparent light curtain rose from the circular magic circle, surrounding Shi Mu. The next moment, gray light flashed, and a gray-white aperture appeared on Shi Mu's limbs. He felt that the magic power in his body was stagnant.
At the same time, a gray light flashed in Wang Ying's hand, and a gray bone staff appeared. The top of it flashed with gray light, and a gray mist appeared out of thin air in the void around Shi Mu, and four zombies emerged from it.
Facing Shi Mu is a gray-haired zombie, and behind and to the left and right are three white-haired zombies.
The aura of the gray-haired zombie is the most powerful, and it has almost innate early-stage strength. The aura of the three white-haired zombies is much weaker, but they also have acquired late-stage strength.
"Haha, even if your magic power is strong, now that your magic power is imprisoned, you can only sit back and wait for death. When the time comes, I will sacrifice your body and soul, and I will be able to break through the spiritual level bottleneck and advance to the star level!" Wang Ying's voice
