Xiao Shi looked at another object.
Name: Phantom Moon Spirit
Type: Soul
Grade: Unknown
Introduction: A soul originating from the Youyue Dynasty.
Note 1: After releasing the spirit, you can issue an attack command to the spirit.
Note 2: Since this is a soul from ancient times, the soul's strength will be much weaker than before, and you also need to pay attention to the soul's existence time.
…
This was originally a piece of meat that was completely black.
But when Xiao Shi picked up the piece of meat.
The entire piece of meat suddenly turned into an illusory soul.
The soul's body shape and appearance were the same as those of the man from Genshan Sect who was killed by Xiao Shi.
Floating in the air, eyes closed, in deep sleep.
Xiao Shi could feel it clearly.
This soul...
It’s different from the souls I’ve encountered before!
It seemed to him that the soul was more advanced than the body.
The most important thing.
This item is not an item in a "virtual state"!
"That is to say..."
“This item is something you can take away!
”
Xiao Shi knew.
Whether it is the Moon-Sealing Dagger or the Moon-Covering Ring that dropped before, they are all items in this illusory world.
It only exists in this illusory world.
Unable to be brought out of the false world.
But the souls that are dropped nowadays are normal items, which can be taken outside the virtual world!
"It means that after I leave here and return to my era, I can release the souls from the Youyue Dynasty era!
”
Xiao Shi felt excited.
Although the strength of the soul will be weakened to a certain extent.
At the same time, in his era, since there was no Youyue, the existence of this kind of soul would be very short.
But in this short period of time, the soul can play some extremely critical roles.
For example, at a critical moment, it releases the irresistible and unavoidable moon light to confine and seal the enemy.
Or Xiao Shi could try to combine this soul with the formation.
Create a unique formation.
Or find a way to integrate the soul into a certain weapon.
Use weapons to perform.
It can be said that after having this kind of soul, one can use the soul to create and develop many methods.
Thereby further enhancing one's own strength.
After viewing this item.
Xiao Shi came to the corpse of the giant beast again.
The death of this giant beast also resulted in items being dropped.
But only one item dropped.
Name: Secret of the Moon
Type: Event
Grade: Unknown
Status: False
Introduction: A secret event that happened during the Youyue Dynasty.
Note: By deciphering the incident, the secret can be revealed.
…
This is an old, dilapidated black scroll.
Judging from the state of this scroll.
Obviously, it can only be used in this virtual world.
When Xiao Shi spread out the scroll.
New relevant information suddenly appeared before my eyes.
The Secret of the Moon: The Evil Ancient Town
Crack condition 1: Invading Genshan sect disciples. (Cracked)
Cracking condition 2: The townspeople of the ancient town who turned into corpses (Cracked)
Crack condition 3: Hired powerful independent cultivator (Cracked)
Event 1: Five days ago, Genshan Sect received information that something evil had occurred in an ancient town within the sect's territory. The Genshan Sect noticed that this matter was unusual. An elderly elder of the sect thought of a rumor from many years ago. To be cautious, the Genshan Sect decided to send a disciple to the ancient town for a preliminary investigation.
Event 2: I don't know when it started, but the townspeople in the ancient town all habitually prepared coffins at home. Every evening, they would return home and lie in the coffins. This seemed to have become a tradition for them, except for the mayor...
Event 3: Although Gu Siyu, a casual cultivator, has no bottom line and will do anything for anyone, regardless of good or evil, as long as he is given the right benefits, he also noticed the abnormality of the ancient town after arriving in the ancient town. In addition, the arrival of the Genshan Sect made him smell a hint of crisis, so he began to investigate secretly and gradually found that there was something strange about the mayor's residence, so he decided to secretly go to the mayor's residence to investigate while the mayor was away...
…
Xiao Shi looked at the three events displayed on the scroll.
It's obvious.
The first event was the relevant information from the Genshan Sect.
The second event is the message of this ancient town.
The third event is the information that he has seen as a casual cultivator now.
I have to say.
These three events are very crucial to Xiao Shi.
Let him clearly understand the cause and effect of the whole incident.
This matter was far more shocking than he had previously imagined.
He originally thought that the disciples coming from Genshan Sect were merely carrying out some routine training or tasks.
Even if the Genshan Sect noticed that something was wrong with this disciple.
The entire sect won’t come directly to kill us.
At most, we could send some deacons and elders to investigate the cause.
After all these deacons and elders had gone there and never returned.
Only then will the entire sect come to kill us.
This is consistent with the situation where each day becomes more difficult than the last three days.
The first day it was the disciples who came.
The next day it was the elders who came.
On the third day, the entire sect came to attack.
But now, through the events he saw, Xiao Shi realized that his previous speculation was not accurate.
From the very beginning, the Genshan Sect had already noticed that something was wrong with this ancient town!
He was valued by the top leaders of the Genshan Sect.
Now that the disciple they sent out has encountered some problem, it is very likely that the entire sect will come directly to kill them!
Maybe next time, I will have to face the entire Genshan Sect!
This put Xiao Shi under a lot of pressure.
Although he now has the Moon-Covering Ring, he is definitely not able to fight against the entire Genshan Sect with just the Moon-Covering Ring and the Moon-Sealing Dagger.
"The key at the moment lies in this ancient town..."
"The Genshan Sect did not come here for me. They came here for the evil and secrets in this ancient town."
“No matter how I improve, it is impossible for me to reach a level where I can fight against the entire Genshan Sect with force in such a short period of time.”
"If we want to break the impasse, we obviously can't think about how to confront the entire Genshan Sect head-on, but to find out the secrets of this ancient town!"
Xiao Shi quickly adjusted his thinking.
But he also knew.
The most troublesome thing about being here is...
Unable to act freely of one's own will.
Just like he has learned through the secret intelligence he has obtained that there is something strange about the mayor's residence.
But he couldn't go directly to the mayor's residence.
"But according to the development of event three, I should have investigated the mayor's residence at this time..."
Xiao Shi was thoughtful.
According to his thoughts.
Its entire body returned directly to the town.
“Well done.”
A smile appeared on the mayor's face.
"The safety of our town is in my hands."
"rest assured."
Xiao Shi nodded.
After returning to the house where he lived.
He began to count the time silently.
Two hours passed.
whoosh!
Xiao Shi moved.
Left the house directly.
And the moment he left the house, he found that he had control over his body and was no longer controlled by this place.
at the same time.
The entire scroll of the Evil Ancient Town of the Secret of Youyue also began to tremble.
Xiao Shi took it out and took a look.
It was discovered that there was an extra event on the scroll.
Event 4: After deciding to investigate the mayor's residence, Gu Siyu began to pay attention to the mayor's actions. After some observation, he summed up several rules. First, during the day, the mayor is in a state of patrolling the town. He will not return to his residence, but will pass by his residence from time to time. Second, the mayor's residence is located in the south of the town. It is relatively quiet and there are no other townspeople living nearby. Third, there is an old locust tree growing in the courtyard where the mayor lives. This locust tree is suspected to be an evil spirit. If you want to enter his residence, you must first find a way to avoid this locust tree. Fourth, the mayor must not be alarmed by this matter, let alone let him notice it, otherwise there will be serious consequences.
Xiao Shi narrowed his eyes slightly.
He could feel that the scroll that dropped this time could change all his actions in this town.
If the scroll is not dropped, you will not see the messages on the scroll.
Then he would definitely not investigate the mayor's residence.
They will just wait patiently for the Genshan faction to attack.
The message on the scroll, to some extent, is also a guide for future actions.
To Xiao Shi, these are like two different branches.
If the scroll had not dropped, he would have followed the first branch, focusing on fighting against the Genshan Sect.
The key to this branch is to withstand the three-day attack of the Genshan Sect and protect the ancient town.
The drop of the scroll allowed him to enter the second branch.
Investigate the secrets of this ancient town!
Therefore, after starting the investigation, Xiao Shi gained control of the body.
The next steps will be completed by him.
Judging from the current information of Event 4.
The most important thing during the investigation is not to alert the mayor and let him know.
Although the incident did not clearly state what serious consequences would occur if the mayor found out.
But Xiao Shi thought of the punishment he had received before...
I know the seriousness of the consequences and that it will most likely endanger my life.
anyway.
You can't even be noticed.
Otherwise, the person might just die.
Think of this.
Xiao Shi no longer hesitated.
The figure flashed.
He immediately began to head towards the mayor's residence cautiously.
With his current speed, it would not be difficult for him to avoid the townspeople in the town without being noticed by them.
After some marching.
He successfully found an independent and quiet courtyard in the south of the town.
Very far away.
He saw the locust tree in the yard.
From the surface, this locust tree looks no different from ordinary locust trees.
You can look at the information in the incident.
This locust tree seems to be evil.
If I sneak into the yard directly, I will definitely alarm the locust tree.
The most troublesome thing is...
Given the huge size of this locust tree.
Its branches and leaves have covered the entire yard.
Even if he sneaked in from the back of the yard, he would still be within its coverage area.
Xiao Shi did not rush to act immediately, but walked around the yard from a distance to make a more detailed observation.
After some observation, he was unable to find a suitable position for him to sneak into.
However, the moon mark was found on the locust tree.
This made him even more certain that there was something wrong with the locust tree.
"If we can't sneak in, then we can only kill them..."
"But once I take action against him, the noise will easily alert other people in the town."
"Besides, even if I could kill it silently, when the mayor passes by here later and sees the abnormality of this locust tree, I would be exposed directly."
Xiao Shi fell into deep thought about this.
Think about it.
He felt that there was only one way at the moment.
Immediately.
He was hiding not far from the yard, waiting quietly.
I waited until the mayor passed by the yard during his inspection and silently calculated the approximate time it would take for the mayor to complete a round of inspection.
"action!"
Xiao Shi directly activated the Moon-Covering Ring on his finger and targeted the locust tree in the yard.
Buzz!
As the entire Moon-Covering Ring vibrated.
Suddenly, an invisible membrane appeared, isolating the entire locust tree, so that the moonlight from the dark moon in the sky no longer shone on the locust tree.
hiss…
Suddenly, a burst of black smoke rose above the entire locust tree.
The power within the locust tree began to dissipate rapidly.
The entire locust tree withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The moon's reflection on the locust tree became even more blurry.
Xiao Shi knew that time was tight.
The effect of the Moon-Covering Ring can only last for one minute at most.
Take advantage of the fact that the locust tree is not covered by the dark moon.
Abilities were greatly weakened and strength was continuously lost.
Xiao Shi immediately sneaked into the house where the mayor lived at the fastest speed.
Given Huaishu's current state, it did not notice him and was successfully infiltrated by him.
This is a rather dilapidated house.
The biggest feeling it gives people is dimness and gloom.
In addition, due to its age, the pure wooden structure is covered with traces of gray and decay, making it look even more eerie.
In the middle of the room, there is a shrine with incense and candles lit, and on the offering table are fruits that look like flesh and blood.
These fruits...
It seems to be the fruit grown from the locust tree outside.
What is enshrined in the shrine is not Buddha or Taoism, but a 20-centimeter-long pocket coffin.
The entire coffin was as black as ink, emitting a cold and evil aura.
The moment I saw this miniature coffin.
Xiao Shi's eyes suddenly became stern.
It’s not that there is no coffin in the house where the mayor lives, but the coffins are different from those in other townspeople’s homes!
Xiao Shi could feel it.
The reason why the townspeople prepared coffins at home and lay down in the coffins in the evening was closely related to the coffin worshipped by the mayor.
The time when these townspeople lie in their coffins is the time when the mayor returns to the house every day.
Xiao Shi spread his soul consciousness.
Sweep towards the coffin in the shrine.
Although his soul consciousness cannot be used for attack here, it will not have much impact on investigation.
