Chapter 19 The fallen boy
Xie Que had the answer in the blink of an eye.
This must be a mule spirit.
The fake mule meat that I thought was probably the true form of the mule essence.
It just happened that the dove occupied the magpie's nest and after occupying Wang Ning's body, he was killed as if he was dead.
I don’t know if this is not a corpse fished out of the Wuding River, and whether my memory can be traced back.
Xie Que tried it, but failed as expected.
After all, there are no traces left in the death trial, so failure is normal.
After placing Wang Ning's body in the morgue, Xie Que was still too excited to sleep.
The biggest gain tonight was the golden entry martial arts prodigy, but the fact that he was able to kill a rumored spirit greatly increased Xie Que's confidence.
Xie Que then made some simple summary of his martial arts. Now that he has the bonus of using bare hands, and he has not learned any swordsmanship or swordsmanship, he has the most advantage when facing enemies with bare hands.
But as the saying goes, an inch longer means an inch stronger. I am just a warrior. If I encounter those Taoist monks with long hands, I will only be beaten passively.
Xie Que looked at the black hairs on the ground. Although they didn't hurt him, the place where he was hit was still a little painful and even a little red and itchy.
Weapons are much sharper than your own fists, so preparing a weapon is a good choice.
Even if you can't attack the opponent, you can still throw it as a projectile to affect the enemy.
Unconsciously, the sky has become brighter.
Xie Que finished breakfast early and entered the city.
The Demon Suppressing Division is not far from the city gate. After all, there are experts in charge of the city, and not many monsters dare to come to the city to cause trouble.
On the contrary, some cruel and inhumane things often occurred outside the city, such as human sacrifice and cannibalism by spirits.
After Xie Que had been to Zhenmo Division a few times, he became familiar with the route. After entering the city, he reached the place with three twists and turns.
Mu Yongquan has also gotten up at this moment and is teaching the guards boxing skills on the training ground.
Hearing that Xie Que had come so early, Mu Yongquan knew that something had happened.
He quickly took two soldiers and walked out of the Demon Suppression Division.
After Xie Que briefly talked about what happened yesterday, Mu Yongquan's expression immediately became cautious.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Xie Que onto his horse, and the four of them and three horses quickly rushed to the outside of Wangjiazhuang.
On the way, Mu Yongquan kept asking for details.
I thought it was my uncle who took action and beat the spirit to death.
After hearing that Xie Que strangled the other party to death, he was also speechless.
Although a domestic animal spirit that has just developed intelligence is nothing, it is equivalent to an innate warrior.
At this point, Mu Yongquan's expression suddenly changed: "I'm afraid this spirit is not dead yet."
"What you killed was the body that occupied its nest, not its ghost."
"Yin Shen?" Xie Que was a little confused.
Mu Yongquan nodded: "Yin gods are ordinary people who have not practiced cultivation, or people with low levels of cultivation. After their souls leave the body, they become Yin gods."
Xie Que nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Where is Yang Shen?"
Mu Yongquan just shook his head, indicating that he did not know.
When they got home, they went straight to the morgue.
After scanning for a week, Mu Yongquan was in a daze when he stared at a corpse.
Seeing that he had not moved yet, Xie Que did not urge him.
Following Mu Yongquan's gaze, he saw that it was the body of the child who had awarded him the golden entry "Martial Arts Wizard" last night.
Xie Que immediately sighed secretly in his heart.
There must be some reason why a child's reward entry is so overbearing.
But it lacks the so-called "divinity" and cannot read the memory of its corpse.
What a pity!
After Mu Yongquan came to his senses, he turned around and said to Yang Xiu: "Ah Xiu, get the Demon Record."
Yang Xiu took out a small booklet from his waist and handed it to his master. Mu Yongquan took it and quickly flipped through it.
He stopped when he turned the page.
He lifted it up with some caution: "This person is the key criminal pursued by our Demon Suppressing Division, the Master of Rotating Taoist Incense, and a fallen boy."
Xie Que was a little surprised, and Mu Yongquan immediately explained: "Although this fallen boy only looks like a child, his real age is probably much older than those of us present combined."
Mu Yongquan frowned: "It is recorded in the Demon Hunting Record that the fallen boy's strength has reached the level of a spiritual general. He is considered to be one of the most powerful men in the Zhou Dynasty. How could he die here?"
"Spirit general?" Xie Que guessed based on the entry of martial arts wizard: "Is he a warrior?"
"Yes, but it doesn't count." Mu Yongquan just said this and did not explain much: "This matter is of great importance. Junior brother, I will leave first. You can say hello to my uncle for me."
Xie Tong nodded. After all, from the lack of "divinity" indicated on the Death Judgment Diagram, one could guess that the child's identity was unusual.
Mu Yongquan carried the bodies of the fallen boy and the mule spirit and quickly rushed to the city.
Not long after, in less than an hour, a group of cavalry came over in a mighty manner.
The leader was not Mu Yongquan, but a long-faced middle-aged man with a mustache.
Xie Que didn't know him, but after talking with Yang Xiu, Xie Que knew that the clothes on the middle-aged man represented his status as a military governor.
After everyone arrived, they immediately revealed the identity of the Demon Suppressor.
The commander of the Demon Suppressing Division did not show any arrogance, but immediately asked Xie Que to take them to the place where the fallen boy was fished out at night.
Seeing this, Xie Que also knew that the matter was getting serious, so he set out to lead everyone from the Demon Suppression Division there.
After the Demon Suppressing Division arrived, they immediately sealed off the nearby river area, and several Taoists who came before opened the altar. Shen Daotao didn't know what he was doing.
The governor originally wanted to send Xie Que away, but after Mu Yongquan said a few words in his ear, the governor nodded.
Mu Yongquan walked to Xie Que and whispered: "The fallen boy has a very important status. His death here will definitely cause waves in the entire Zhou Dynasty."
"You and your uncle will stop fishing for corpses these days. This section of the river will be handed over to our Demon Suppression Division for a period of time."
Xie Que knew that he had no right to refuse, so although he was a little helpless, he could only nod.
"Is this fallen boy's background so big?" Xie Que asked curiously.
Mu Yongquan nodded and did not say much: "The power behind him is too great, and he is an existence that I, the Zhou Dynasty, cannot afford to offend."
At this point, Mu Yongquan immediately changed the subject: "The matter of the mule spirit has been investigated clearly. The mule spirit accidentally became a spirit and attached itself to Wang Ning's body."
Do you know where the physical body of that mule spirit is? "
"In my belly."
Although this was true, Xie Que would not tell the truth and just shook his head.
Xie Que also finally understood the reason why the mule meat enhanced Qi and blood so much. It was because the other person had become a spirit and was not comparable to ordinary animals.
Xie Que guessed that the opponent most likely chased him based on the position of his body, but he didn't expect that its body had already been processed into dried meat by him.
Mu Yongquan reminded again: "It is very likely that the Yin God has escaped. If it returns to its true form, I am afraid it will take revenge on you soon."
"You need to be more careful these days."
Xie nodded, but what he didn't know was that Mule Jing's Yin Shen had already been burned away by his tyrannical Qi and blood.
