The waning moon hung coldly in the sky, reflecting the faint blood-red color of the western horizon.
Although the eastern sky was still dark, there seemed to be a glimmer of light.
Ghost Moon was alone in the forest south of the Ancient Ocean. It was very quiet, and even the sound of a tree branch breaking could be heard clearly.
The army had already sealed off the ancient ocean. Legend had it that there was an outbreak of plague here. However, based on the evidence collected by Ghost Moon, there was no plague here, but evil spirits. To Ghost Moon, evil spirits causing trouble was actually a very common thing. He made a living by exorcising ghosts. However, most ghosts were limited to one place. Places with heavy Yin Qi were suitable for evil ghosts to live in. In this world, many places had too much Yang Qi, at least for ghosts. Of course, there were also a few ghosts that were not so dependent on Yin Qi and had a strong adaptability to Yang Qi. For example, Shen Xianlai, who had escaped from the netherworld to the present world. Shen Xianlai was a special case. He was completely immune to the Yang Qi of living people. This meant that Shen Xianlai could freely come into contact with living people without being afraid of being harmed by the Yang Qi in living people. However, this did not mean that there was no danger for living people to come into contact with Shen Xianlai for a long time. Living people were of the Yang attribute, and excessive Yin Qi would have an adverse effect on them. Living people with weak immunity to Yin Qi would easily feel uncomfortable if they were to come into contact with a ghost like Shen Xianlai for a long time.
If there were evil ghosts in the Ancient Ocean, there were two possibilities. One was that there was a powerful ghost in the Ancient Ocean that could harm the people of the entire city. The other was that there were ghosts that could harm living people in different places in the Ancient Ocean. The former was more likely because the probability of evil spirits appearing in different places at the same time was very low.
The army's blockade was useless against Ghost Moon, who was trying to enter the Ancient Ocean. Ghost Moon was a magician. However, the magician here did not refer to the magic performers on the stage. The magician mentioned here was a branch of hypnotists. They were proficient in the spirit realm and deception. Ghost Moon had a thousand ways to deceive the army. As long as it was a human, it was possible to be deceived. If the other party was a magician, then the probability of being deceived would be as high as 99.9%. Even a hypnotist of the same level could be deceived by a magician, let alone a normal stranger.
As mentioned before, Ghost Moon was a magician who made a living by exorcising ghosts. In front of his clients, he always called himself an exorcist.
In the field of hypnotism, magicians had always been criticized because most magicians made a living by cheating. In the eyes of some hypnotists, magicians were equivalent to liars. Although Ghost Moon came from a magician sect, he was unwilling to rely on deception to make a living. He would rather make a living by exorcising ghosts. He loved being a magician, but he didn't want his identity as a magician or hypnotist to cause any negative effects. In the field of hypnotists, many people were addicted to all kinds of drugs, hoping to use the power of drugs to increase their spiritual power. Most people hated hypnotists like this, but many hypnotists didn't hate hypnotists who were addicted to drugs. In fact, more than 30% of hypnotists had the bad habit of abusing psychoactive drugs and anesthetics.
The magicians were often criticized by other schools because of the frequent appearance of swindlers. Ghost Moon felt that this was a very funny thing. Didn't hypnotists from other sects cheat? There were also many hypnotists from other schools who made a living by cheating. In addition, the number of people who relied on drugs among magicians was far less than other schools. Most magicians paid more attention to their ability to set up spirit realms, rather than the strength of their spiritual power. They were generally unwilling to use psychoactive drugs because they believed that relying on psychoactive drugs would damage their intelligence and reduce their ability to set up spirit realms.
Ghost Moon didn't come to Gu Xiu Ocean for money. Although he made a living by exorcising ghosts, that was only a means to make a living. He was a magician and had a strong interest in supernatural events. This time, he was a volunteer.
Ghost Moon passed through the forest, walked past the edge of the city, and came to a run-down alley.
At this time, the residents in the alley had yet to wake up.
Ghost Moon squatted down in front of a stone tablet and pretended to sleep.
This stone had lost a corner and was slanted. It was covered with yellow or green moss and had the smell of urine. There were some children in this alley who liked to pee on Shi Gandang. After a long time, there was a foul smell. However, Ghost Moon didn't mind the stench. The place he had worked at had a much stronger stench than this.
It was said that Shi Gandang had divinity and could suppress evil.
Ghost Moon didn't know if Shi Gandang had divinity or not. All he knew was that there was a ghost living inside Shi Gandang. However, this ghost was not an evil ghost or a wandering spirit that wandered in the main world. It was the lowest leader of the underworld. The local god was already a very low-level official in the underworld. However, he still had a certain number of underworld soldiers under him. The ghost guarding Shi Gandang, also known as the Tree God, had no one under him. He was completely alone.
In fact, Shi Gandang's living conditions were better than those Tree Gods who could only live on trees.
Ghost Moon was currently communicating with Shi Gandang. He wanted to get some information from Shi Gandang about the outbreak of the so-called " plague " in Gu Liuyang.
Shi Gandang had really disappointed Ghost Moon. Although he knew about the series of vicious incidents in Gu Xiyang, he didn't know much about it. This situation was actually normal. Shi Gandang was only responsible for the situation around him. He didn't need to know about the situation in other places. That was not his duty.
However, Ghost Moon still got some useful information from Shi Gandang. That was, some time ago, Yin Si had issued an arrest warrant in Gu Xiyang. The content was that an evil spirit called Shen Xianlai had escaped from the netherworld's hell to the main world. If there was any news of this evil spirit in the ancient ocean, they had to inform the underworld and cooperate with the underworld to capture it.
This Shi Gandang was originally an old beggar who had frozen to death nearby more than ten years ago. Even though he had become an official staff member of the Underworld, he was still wearing the tattered clothes he had died in. He did not even wear shoes. Shi Gandang rubbed the mud between his toes and said," Sir, I really don't know about the recent events in Gu Liuyang. I think you can ask the local Shing Wong. He must know more than me.”
"Yes, I will."
Ghost Moon stood up from the ground, looking unhappy. The information he got from Shi Gandang was actually zero. Then, would there really be any gains from asking Shing Wong?
