This mountain has no name since ancient times. People in several villages at the foot of the mountain make a living by collecting firewood and hunting in this mountain. Three days ago, overnight, a thick fog suddenly appeared on the mountainside, and the fog was white.
After walking into the fog, it was difficult to see, and I couldn't even see my fingers.
After people walked into the thick fog, it didn't take long for them to walk out of the fog again, just like a ghost breaking through a wall.
When cultivators from the county government enter, their endings will be the same as those of ordinary people.
Obviously, a formation was arranged in the fog so that outsiders could not break in.
Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, the mountain is occupied by experts. Fortunately, the strong people in the fog only occupied the top of the mountain and did not harm the people. The Yu County government did not dare to disturb the people in the fog, so they could only
Report the situation here to the county government and wait for the county government to handle it.
This mountain is related to the livelihood of the people at the foot of the mountain. Hundreds of households at the foot of the mountain are also concerned about the situation in the mist.
For three days, the fog had been calm, but half an hour ago, it suddenly began to fluctuate violently. I don't know what terrible things happened inside, making all the people feel uneasy.
Mountainside, within the mist.
More than ten black shadows are using various ghost techniques and magic weapons to besiege a formation.
Within the formation, there are two women. Although the two women are dressed differently, they are exactly the same in appearance and figure, just like twin sisters.
No matter how carefully you identify them, you can't tell the difference between them.
The only difference is their temperament.
One of them has a pale face, but his brows are soft, while the other one has a frosty face and no life on his body.
The soft-faced woman seemed to have been seriously injured, and her body was somewhere between illusion and reality, as if she would disappear in the next moment.
Another woman in white with a very cold face, her aura was also very sluggish, and she was obviously seriously injured.
The dozen or so black figures, with ghostly auras about them, were obviously ghosts. They were using various methods to attack the formation in front of them. The formation was crumbling under their attacks and was not far away from being broken.
"I didn't expect that I would have such a harvest this time."
"The cause of death of His Royal Highness King Chu Jiang was not investigated, but a seriously injured ghost was found. It's no loss, no loss..."
"If we can absorb her soul power, we can be one step closer to the ghost realm."
"There is also a flying zombie. If you catch it and sell it to the Corpse Sect, you will definitely get a lot of good things back. Then everyone will share it equally..."
…
More than a dozen ghosts communicated with each other and attacked faster. This formation, which is not powerful, will soon be unable to hold on.
Within the formation, Su He's aura was extremely weak. She looked at her other self and said: "My soul is about to dissipate. Before it completely dissipates, you can swallow me. After you devour me, you can
If you have the chance to escape from their hands and avenge us, I'll leave it to you."
The female corpse glanced at her. There was no expression on her cold face. She looked at the dozen or so black figures outside the formation. Two white fangs poked out of the corners of her mouth, and the nails on her ten fingers also stretched an inch.
boom!
A wave of air spread around, and the formation was finally shattered under the full attack of more than ten ghosts.
More than ten ghosts had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The moment the formation was broken, they immediately swarmed forward.
The female corpse was extremely fast, leaving afterimages wherever it went. The nails on her ten fingers glowed with bursts of cold light, tearing the air apart. She stayed by Su He's side, and the dozen or so ghosts were unable to get close to her for a while.
When the leading ghost saw this, he immediately said: "Capture this female corpse first."
The other ghosts gave up approaching Su He and began to join forces to attack her.
The body of the flying corpse is like a copper wall, extremely hard. The ghost soldiers in their hands cannot cause much damage to her body, but if they are caught by the nails of this female corpse, their souls will be damaged.
More than a dozen ghosts cooperated tacitly, and soon the attack turned into a trap. The ghost soldiers in their hands turned into a ghost chain filled with black energy. This ghost chain seemed to be alive, wandering in the air, and soon bound the female corpse.
Although her hands and feet were extremely powerful, she could not equal ten, and was immediately restrained from moving.
The leader of the ghosts tried his best to contain the female corpse and said to the other ghost beside him: "Kill the ghost first. She was seriously injured and unable to resist. Take her soul power and then deal with this flying corpse..."
The evil spirit from the fourth realm took the order and walked to Su He's side, with excitement on his face.
This is the ghost of the fifth realm. The Ten Palaces of Yama under the Holy Lord are just ghosts. When they see such a strong man on weekdays, they must pay homage to them. How dare they dare to fight with them, let alone do it with their own hands?
Kill someone...
He let out a hideous laugh, raised the ghost fork in his hand, pointed it at Su He, and stabbed it hard.
boom!
A purple thunder exploded directly above his head.
Wherever the thunder passed, the white mist disappeared. The thunder fell on his head, and he had no power to resist. His body dissipated and turned into pure soul power.
When the other ghosts saw this, they were horrified.
However, before they could recover from their shock, purple thunder also appeared above their heads.
Most of these ghosts are evil spirits from the third realm. There are only a few evil spirits from the fourth realm. Under the Purple Sky Divine Thunder that can only be used by strong men in the fifth realm, they were killed without even the thought of resisting.
Erase directly.
Only the leader of the ghosts, something flashed inside his body, and he withstood this thunder alive, but the aura on his body was weakened.
When the thunder snakes danced wildly in the mist, he was scared out of his wits. The Purple Sky Divine Thunder is the Taoist sect's unique method of creating powerful people. It is as powerful as their master, Yama of the Tenth Palace.
He gave up on the female corpse and wanted to escape without hesitation, but the moment he turned around, a green sword shadow passed through his chest, and his body froze in place and turned into black mist and dissipated.
The mist rolled, a figure walked out of the rolling mist, and the Qingxuan Sword flew back into his hand.
After these ghosts were killed, the female corpse resumed action. She looked in the direction of the figure, raised her arms, and her body turned into an afterimage, but her figure appeared in the middle.
She remembers this person.
She saw him more than once when she was still trapped at the underwater altar.
Li Mu saw Su He at a glance. Her body was extremely illusory and seemed to dissipate at any time. Li Mu ignored the female corpse and instantly appeared next to Su He and helped her up.
Su He looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "You're here."
Li Mu hugged her and said, "Don't talk yet."
He recited the "Heart Sutra" silently, and his body emitted a dazzling golden light. The female corpse stretched out her hand to cover it, and was forced to take a few steps back by the golden light.
This time, the all-conquering golden light emitted from Li Mu's body did not merge into Su He's body, but passed through her body.
Li Mu's face turned completely gloomy.
He had encountered this situation once.
A few months ago, he could only watch Xiaobai's grandma die in her arms.
Su He, like Xiao Bai's grandmother, has suffered irreversible damage to their souls.
Su He looked at Li Mu and said with some regret: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back and have hot pot with you..."
Li Mudao: "There will be plenty of opportunities to eat hot pot in the future, so it's important to save you."
"I can't be saved." Su He smiled at Li Mu and said, "Don't be sad. I should have died twenty years ago. It's not a loss..."
Li Mu glanced at her and said, "Stop talking, I'll save you first."
With a thought in his mind, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
It was the Queen who rewarded him with the Fortune Pill.
As long as her soul is not completely dissipated, this Good Fortune Pill can bring her back.
Li Mu was about to ask her to take this pill, but found that the soul power was rapidly draining from her body. When he looked down, Su He had already closed his eyes.
He secretly thought that it was not good, in this case, she would not be able to use the medicine at all.
The Creation Pill is a rare treasure. In order to avoid accidentally taking it and wasting it, it needs to be actively refined with mana. Just a trace of mana can stimulate the medicinal power in it. But now Su He can no longer use a trace of mana.
Li Mu didn't have time to think too much, so he made a prompt decision and put the Good Fortune Pill into his mouth.
Then he leaned down and kissed Su He's lips.
Li Mu used a bit of magic power to dissolve the elixir, and then injected all the power into Su He's body.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Su He's body exuded a strange aura. The soul power she had lost just now began to quickly return to her body. Not only that, the ghosts killed by Li Mu still remained in her body.
The soul power of this place was also absorbed into her body.
Su He still didn't wake up. This was because she was too seriously injured and almost lost her soul. The power of the Creation Pill would slowly repair her soul, which required a process.
In Li Mu's arms, Su He's soul had re-solidified, and the Good Fortune Pill truly lived up to its name.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at the sky, and said sincerely: "Praise Your Majesty..."
If it were not for the Good Fortune Pill gifted by the Queen, he would probably lose Su He today and watch her die in his arms. This would be a lifelong regret for him.
After returning to the capital of the gods, he decided to be nicer to the queen, otherwise he would feel guilty.
After noticing another aura around him, Li Mu remembered that the female corpse was still here and looked over.
The female corpse that looked exactly like Su He was also looking at Li Mu at the moment.
Her face was calm, with no expression at all. After taking a look at Su He, she turned around and disappeared into the thick fog without saying a word.
Li Mu did not stop him. He was a little confused about the relationship between the female corpse and Su He.
It stands to reason that the two of them are natural enemies. One has a soul and the other has a body. They both want to devour the other to achieve their own perfection. However, it is obvious that if it were not for the protection of the female corpse, Su He would have died long ago.
Ghost hands.
Could it be that the spiritual intelligence that was born on its own by the corpse also knows the principle of "they are born from the same root, so there is no need to rush into each other"?
Perhaps she believed that they had the same roots and did not want to kill each other. Regardless of the reason, she protected Su He and changed Li Mu's attitude towards her.
If not, Li Mu would eradicate her and erase her intelligence in order to prevent her from threatening Su He in the future.
Li Mu looked at the direction where the female corpse disappeared and said: "I will let you go today. I hope you will practice the righteous way in the future and not cause harm to the world. Otherwise, I will get rid of you with my own hands..."
Low-level zombies rely on instinct to act and absorb human blood to practice.
The flying corpse already has spiritual intelligence and can absorb moonlight, yin energy, spiritual energy and other powers to practice cultivation, and there is no need to absorb human blood.
She was born from spiritual energy, and there was no dirty corpse energy in her body. Unlike those zombies born from filthy energy, practicing with human blood would be detrimental to her. She knew this better than Li Mu.
After the female corpse left, she used the technique of calling the wind to blow away the white mist on the mountain. Then she picked up Su He, hid her figure, and left in the wind.
At the foot of the mountain, the people looked up and saw that the fog that had been lingering for several days had dispersed, and they couldn't help shouting with joy.
"The fog has dispersed. This ghost fog has finally dispersed!"
“I can finally go up to the mountains to chop wood and hunt!”
"Don't worry, report it to the Yamen first and see what they say..."
In the crowd, a young child in the arms of a woman looked at the sky and said: "Mom, I saw someone flying in the sky..."
The woman looked up and saw that there was nothing in the sky. She looked at the young child in her arms and looked at her husband beside her with a worried look on her face. She said, "The child's father will wait until those few skins at home are sold."
It’s better to take Xiaobao to see the doctor..."
…
Li Mu hugged Su He and did not go home directly. Instead, he went to find Qingniu Jing first.
The ice coffin of the White Demon King has the function of nourishing the soul. Li Mu took it from Qingniu Jing and put Su He's body into it, which could help her wake up as soon as possible.
Li Mu put the ice coffin into the Hutian space. As for the tree demon, after being immobilized by Li Mu, he tied it up with an immortal lock and threw it aside.
After doing all this, he said to Qingniu Jing: "If Brother Bai comes back, please tell Brother Niu that I will borrow this ice coffin for a while and return it to him after I use it."
Qingniu Jing waved his hand and said: "You saved my sister-in-law, so this ice coffin is of no use to my brother. You can just use it."
The White Demon King is really rich. He gets two Hutian rings as a gift. This ice coffin is also a rare magic weapon. It is said that the dragon race is the richest race in the world. I am afraid this statement is not true at all.
When he marries a dragon, it is like marrying a treasure.
But Li Mu doesn't envy him. After all, he also has the treasure of the queen, it's just a dragon. No matter how rich he is, can he be richer than the queen of a country?
Su He was fine, and Li Mu finally felt relieved.
The next thing to do is to return to the divine capital as soon as possible, hand the tree demon to the queen, and let her deal with Cui Ming.
This matter cannot be delayed at all. Fan Ji ran away. She was probably sent by Cui Ming. If she had informed Cui Ming in advance and let Cui Ming run away, wouldn't all his efforts these days have been in vain?
Already.
However, the inner guards have been keeping an eye on Cui Ming and are unlikely to let him run away.
Li Mu returned to the county seat, planning to send Liu Hanyan back to Baiyun Mountain, and then immediately set off back to the capital city.
While walking on the street, he heard the people on the street discussing something.
"I heard that the county government caught two evil spirits. Is it true?"
"Really, what I saw with my own eyes were two female ghosts. They were quite beautiful, they didn't look very old, and they didn't know what harm they had done..."
"Our Yangqiu County is becoming increasingly unstable. In the past six months, monsters, ghosts, and zombies have harmed many people..."
…
Li Mu had already passed the county government office, but when he heard them saying that the government office had arrested two young female ghosts, he turned around and walked back.
After the destruction of Bishui Bay, the two female ghosts he gave to Su He as companions also disappeared. Could it really be such a coincidence?
He came to the county government office, found Mr. Zhou, and asked, "I heard that the county government captured two female ghosts. Did those two female ghosts harm anyone?"
Zhou Captou shook his head and said: "That's not true. However, those two resentful spirits are wandering near Bishui Bay. The county magistrate suspects that they have any harmful purpose and is planning to interrogate them..."
Hearing that there were two female ghosts wandering near Bishui Bay, Li Mu knew it must be that female ghost.
He looked at Mr. Zhou and said, "Can you let me see those two female ghosts?"
Zhou Captou hesitated for a moment and said, "Come with me."
It stands to reason that Li Mu is no longer a county police officer and is not qualified to enter the county government prison. However, the friendship between the two still existed, so Capt. Zhou made an exception.
County prison.
Two female ghosts, one big and one small, were locked by two chains, which restricted their power. The little female ghost huddled in the corner, trembling and said: "Sister, will we be killed..."
The big female ghost was not sure, but she still comforted her and said: "Don't worry, we didn't do anything bad, they have no reason to kill us..."
The jailer outside chuckled and said: "My lord, what reason do you have to kill you two brats? My lord has just arrived here and has not made any achievements yet. I have dealt with you two evil devils who are harmful to people. It will be a good addition to my political achievements..."
The little female ghost argued: "We didn't harm anyone!"
The jailer glanced and said, "Who cares?"
The little female ghost panicked and said: "It's over, it's over, we are really going to die again. Sister Su, come and save us..."
The older female ghost showed a worried look on her face and said, "I don't know what's going on with Sister Su. That tree demon is so powerful. I hope nothing will happen to her."
The door of the county jail was opened, and Zhou Captou and Li Mu came out.
At a glance, Li Mu saw two female ghosts, one big and one small, imprisoned in the prison.
He shook his head and said helplessly to Zhou Captou: "I know them. Although they are ghosts, they have never done anything harmful to anyone. Can you let them go?"
"This..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Captain Zhou's face, and he finally nodded and said, "I'll ask your Excellency."
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm going to trouble Mr. Zhou."
Mr. Zhou nodded, turned and left.
Li Mu walked towards the two female ghosts. When the two ghosts saw Li Mu, they were stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on their faces. The little female ghost grabbed the prison fence and said excitedly: "Master, you are here to save us.
……"
The eldest female ghost said worriedly: "Sir, Sister Su is in danger, there is a tree demon..."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've seen her, she's fine."
In the cell, the two female ghosts finally felt relieved, but in the county government yard, Capt. Zhou was in a dilemma.
After Mr. Zhang left, the new Yangqiu County Magistrate arrived a few days ago.
This gentleman came from the capital city of God. When he came to the county government, he brought a few confidants with him. As an old catcher, he was left out in the cold, and recently there was a tendency to be replaced.
He really couldn't say anything in front of the county magistrate.
But Li Mu is his friend, so he can't refuse Li Mu.
He hesitated for a while, then walked to the back office, knocked on the door of the back hall, stood outside, and said, "Sir, I have something important to report."
After a long time, a faint voice came from the hall: "Come in."
When Zhou Captou walked in, an official sitting on the chair asked: "What's the important matter?"
Zhou Captou immediately said: "Sir, the two female ghosts captured by the county government today did not harm anyone. Wouldn't it be better to let them go?"
The official looked up at him and asked, "Captain Zhou, are you teaching me how to do things?"
Zhou Captou immediately said: "I don't dare."
The official snorted coldly and said: "Those two female ghosts did not harm anyone today. Can you guarantee that they did not harm anyone before and will not harm anyone in the future? As the magistrate of Yangqiu County, for the safety of the people, I must
Prevent the slightest and eliminate all possible dangers. As the head catcher, you actually interceded for two evil ghosts. I feel that you, the head catcher, should be replaced..."
Zhou Captou said bravely: "Sir, I used to have a colleague, his name is Li Mu. A few months ago, he was also working as an errand in the county government. He had an old relationship with the two female ghosts. I can guarantee that they had no relationship before.
Harming people..."
The Yangqiu County Magistrate's face grew colder. He didn't care at all whether the two female ghosts had harmed anyone. He had just arrived in Yangqiu County. If he didn't kill a few demons and ghosts to sacrifice to heaven, how could he establish the prestige of his parents? This Zhou
, he has long been dissatisfied with it, and wanted to place his confidant in that position, but there has never been a suitable opportunity, so this time it is just an excuse to replace him.
He snorted coldly and said: "What's wrong with the county government's police officer? The county government's police officer can do whatever he says..."
As he was talking, he suddenly realized something and asked, "What do you think the catcher's name is?"
Zhou Captou said: "Li Mu."
The Yangqiu County Magistrate swallowed his saliva and asked, "Where is he on duty now?"
Zhou Captou said: "In the capital city, it seems that he is the captor of some government agency..."
After confirming that this Li Mu was the Li Mu he knew, the Yangqiu County Magistrate trembled and said in panic: "Quick, take me to see him!"
County prison.
When the Yangqiu County Magistrate saw a familiar figure, he walked over quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, what kind of wind has brought you here? Please let me know before you come. I will definitely come in person."
Go out to welcome..."
Zhou Captou followed behind him, staring blankly at this scene, unable to regain his composure for a moment.
Li Mu looked at the stranger in front of him and asked, "Do we know each other?"
The Yangqiu County Magistrate said hurriedly: "You don't know Xiaguan, but I know you. Xiaguan used to be the head of the Criminal Department. He has just been in Yangqiu County for a few days. I met Mr. Li in the Criminal Department a few days ago..."
A few days ago, Li Mu frequently went to the Criminal Department, but he didn't remember that there was such a director in the Criminal Department.
After the Yangqiu County Magistrate finished speaking, he pointed at the door of the cell and said angrily: "Please release these two girls quickly. How does the county government arrester do his work? How can he catch good guys indiscriminately?"
, what I usually teach you, whether you are catching people, ghosts or demons, you must provide evidence, and each of you has turned a deaf ear to my words..."
He scolded him angrily, looked at Li Mushi, with a smile on his face again, and said guiltily: "Master Li, your friend was arrested because of the laxity of the subordinate officials. Please ask Mr. Li tens of millions, tens of millions, thousands."
