Elder Wang looked at the sky with great fear in his eyes.
At this moment, the sun had set on the top of the mountain, and the bloody afterglow quickly dissipated.
Night falls,
Darkness filled the sky like thick ink.
The spirit stone was embedded in the magic circle, and in the town, the lighting pillars lit up.
But these light pillars driven by the magic circle can only illuminate a space of twenty to thirty meters in radius.
A gloomy wind blew from the direction of Wangchuan Valley.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly.
Many people shuddered subconsciously.
Su Ling'er rubbed her arms and said, "Senior brother, it suddenly feels so cold."
Li Mu frowned slightly.
"Close the Yuan Qi to prevent Yin Qi from entering the body."
Su Ling'er quickly followed the instructions and used her true energy to protect her body, feeling a little warmer.
Bao Wencheng was nearby, looking in the direction of Wangchuan Valley, and murmured: "This spiritual stone seems to be harder to earn than expected."
In the darkness, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing over the small half of the body on the ground.
The corpse opened its dark eyes, and its right hand covered with corpse spots slammed onto the ground. Using the force of the shock, it pounced on the approaching red monk.
"court death!"
The old monster Chi Yan snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand, and crushed the head of the ghost corpse directly. His five fingers turned into claws and grabbed the possessed ghost.
Red flames surged out from his hand, directly burning the ghost into powder.
In the darkness, a dark wind kept blowing.
Everyone was also a little afraid and accelerated their pace into the town.
As the door slammed shut.
A magic circle barrier enveloped the entire town.
The cold feeling disappeared instantly.
Elder Wang reminded: "The magic circle protecting the town is damaged. It is inevitable that ghosts will get in. Please take precautions when taking a rest."
"When daybreak comes, the ghosts will dissipate."
Under his arrangement, everyone moved into the house.
Li Mu and Su Ling'er lived in the same courtyard.
Li Mu put a house-securing talisman on each door of their house.
The night is getting darker.
The wind blew outside the hospital, whining like countless ghosts howling.
Su Ling'er came to Li Mu's room and got directly into his bed.
"Ling'er is a little scared."
Li Mu took out a luminous pearl to make the room brighter.
"You don't seem like someone who is afraid of ghosts."
He thought so, but he didn't expose it.
After all, this is the territory of the Blood Demon Sect, and it is not far from the Forgotten River Valley, so it is somewhat dangerous.
He set up a barrier, washed briefly, got into bed, took out the sound-transmitting jade talisman, and poured his true energy into it.
The jade talisman flashed.
Wu Sanjiu's voice sounded.
"Sir, do you have any instructions?"
If you use your spiritual consciousness to transmit messages, you may be intercepted by detectives.
However, the sound-transmitting jade talisman has its own secret runes. Even if it is discovered, the sound and source cannot be deciphered.
Li Mu asked: "The ghost corpses breaking free of their chains at the gate of the town were arranged by you, right?"
"Your Majesty, you are aware of this! All this is arranged by Mr. Qian, and I just learned the news."
After Wu Sanjiu's explanation, Li Mu understood the intentions of the Blood Demon Sect.
The Blood Demon Sect has a secret technique that can turn people into "blood slaves" by controlling blood.
However, to perform this secret technique, the soul of the recipient needs to be weak in order to achieve the best effect.
Therefore, Mr. Qian specially arranged this "accident" at dusk.
Wu Sanjiu said: "The old guy has arranged people to find the two injured Jindan cultivators. It's best not to get hurt, otherwise you will cause trouble."
Gan Lao spent a high price to recruit Jindan cultivators.
The real purpose is to turn these people into blood slaves.
First, it can suppress the ghosts in the Forgotten River Valley and prevent the formation of a ghost tide.
Secondly, it can enhance the power of the Blood Demon Sect.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
Li Mu cut off contact and took back the sound transmission jade talisman.
Su Ling'er gritted her teeth in hatred, "These demon cultivators really deserve to be killed!"
Li Mu just smiled faintly and didn't answer.
Among the Jindan cultivators who dare to take on the mission of the Blood Demon Sect, who doesn’t have a few or even dozens of innocent lives in their hands?
This world is a place where the weak prey on the strong.
It was already late at night, and a shrill bell suddenly rang outside.
"broken!"
"The defensive barrier has been broken!"
"The ghost is coming in!"
The sound of bells and wind were mixed with the exclamations of the Blood Demon Sect monks.
There was a dark wind blowing into the yard.
There was a thumping sound outside, as if someone was knocking on the door.
Su Ling'er looked at the door warily.
The knocking became faster and faster until it became a bang, bang, bang.
Li Mu frowned slightly.
Attach the true energy to his eyes, open the door and look.
It's not very dark in the yard.
I can't see my fingers.
But there was a figure standing in the darkness, darker than the surrounding night.
Li Mu flicked his fingers, and a burst of true energy penetrated the house-destroying talisman on the door.
The house-holding talisman shines brightly, illuminating the small courtyard.
He saw a ghost staring directly at him.
"Knocking on the door in the middle of the night and not letting anyone sleep?"
The ghost dragged a rusty broken knife and rushed directly towards Li Mu.
Li Mu slapped it with one palm.
The ghost-controlling talisman in the palm of his hand flashed, and he directly collected the ghost.
[Second-level big ghost, do you want to be a slave? 】
Li Mu pondered for a moment.
To enter the Wangchuan Valley, it will be much easier if you have a ghost slave.
Moreover, the aura of this ghost is stronger than the big ghost encountered before.
With a thought in his mind, he chose to be a slave.
A golden light poured into the ghost body.
[Name: Knife-dragging Ghost]
[Level: Level 2 57/100]
[Status: Slave]
[How to improve: Yin Qi pregnancy and nourishment]
[Introduction: The sword dragging ghost, died on the ancient battlefield, mastered the Xuanjie Kung Fu and defended the sword (incomplete)]
Li Mu was a little surprised.
He was still a little impressed by the technique of guarding a sword.
When I was looking for exercises in Daodao Pavilion, I saw a exercise called "Shou Yi".
This is a skill that comes from the ancient sect of "Keeping One". The focus is on refining the spirit rather than refining the body. The pursuit is to keep only the god, keep it without losing it, and become one with the god.
In ancient times, Shou Yimen was quite famous in Xihezhou.
It's just that the war between immortals and demons hasn't ended yet, and Shou Yimen has fallen apart.
Li Mu gathered his thoughts and waited in the yard for a while. He didn't wait for the ghost to come in, so he could only go back to the house disappointed.
…
In the night.
In a house on the east side of the town.
Qianlao was sitting on the Taishi chair, sipping tea leisurely.
Wu Sanjiu sat beside him with a rather complaining expression.
"Don't be angry, Hall Master Wu. I have spent so much spiritual stone wealth, so I have to be cautious."
"So, Gan Lao can't trust me anymore?"
"What's the matter? Hall Master Wu is the sect leader's brother-in-law. How can I still not trust you? But this time the incident happened suddenly, and I also changed my strategy temporarily."
Qian Lao said and put a piece of yellow paper on the table.
The yellow paper is round with a square hole in the middle and the words "Yin Cai Tong Bao" are written on it.
Wu Sanjiu took a breath of cold air.
"Is this...ghost money?"
