The queen must start from the head

Chapter 154
In Luohuang Mountain, Mu Lian was following the Peach Tree Spirit to the habitat of the spirits.

This is a naturally formed underground cavity. Unlike the black air outside, the air in this small world is very fresh and has not been polluted by the evil air outside.

As soon as Peach Tree Essence came back, the other mountain elves and tree monsters guarding the cave got up one after another.

When they saw Mu Lian following behind Peach Tree Spirit, they all showed surprise in their eyes.

"Master Mu, it's Master Mu who is back!"

"It's all right now, we are saved, and Luohuang Mountain is also saved!"

Seeing the spirits cheering and losing their dignity in front of the guests, the Peach Tree Spirit knocked the crutch in his hand on the ground several times, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Master Mu We have just arrived here, and we still don’t know what happened in Luohuang Mountain. We have to tell her what happened.”

As soon as it made a sound, the other spirits fell silent.

The peach tree spirit pointed at the tallest fir tree present with a cane in his hand, and said, "Old Shan, in our forest, you are the tallest and have the most descendants. Just what you saw before, Let's tell Sect Master Mu."

Because of its large size, the cedar spirit with its blue-purple skin can only sit in the cave.Even sitting, its head almost touches the ceiling of the cave.

There is no way, it is a natural born spirit, unable to use spells, and the shortest after the change is this height.

After hearing what the peach tree spirit said, Mu Lian subconsciously looked at the fir tree spirit.

The latter turned his hands into branches, scratched the soles of his feet, and then said, "Actually, there is nothing to say."

Its voice was rough and sounded a little silly.

Peach tree spirit knocked on the crutch again and said, "If you have nothing to say, you have to say it! Master Mu is still waiting!"

Mu Lian on the side couldn't help but glance between the peach tree spirit and the fir tree spirit.It turns out that you guys are all so frank when you talk to each other, don't you avoid outsiders?

Although the fir tree spirit is big, it is very obedient.

It tried hard to recall for a while before talking about what it had seen before.

"At that time, Sect Master Mu and the others had just moved away. The prefect of some city also left with the people."

It should be talking about Yan Tao, the prefect of Tianhai City, Mu Lian thought to herself.

"There were also some people who stayed behind and didn't leave. Later, they died."

Mu Lian was taken aback, did you speak too briefly?
"The remaining people, how did they die?"

Mu Lian's question interrupted the cedar tree spirit's train of thought, and the latter looked at the peach tree spirit in some confusion, as if asking the other party how he should explain this matter.

This time, Taoshu Jing said helplessly, "Old Shan can't explain the matter of the common people clearly, so let me talk about it. At the beginning, the prefect Yan was ungrateful and wanted to occupy the sect of the head of Mu, but he didn't expect When it came to Sect Master Mu, you made a move and directly took away the entire sect, leaving only an empty hill for him."

When the Peach Tree Spirit said this, Mu Lian's memories flooded her mind, she even recalled the prefect's back and forth, changing his face many times, and his capricious face.

There are always some people who can do anything in the face of interests.

Seeing that Mulian was silent, Peach Tree Spirit continued, "Although there is water, trees and wild animals in this mountain, how can it support tens of thousands of people? So the prefect Yan planned to take the people to the nearest Tieshi However, some people were unwilling to leave, which made people's hearts fluctuate, so Yan Taishou privately ordered the city guards to create some "accidents" to scare the people that there are monsters in the mountains..."

Having said that, Peach Tree Spirit leaned on his cane and sighed.

There were no monsters in the mountains at that time, but they were the elves who grew up on their own and never killed, who took the blame and infamy for the strict prefect.

But he didn't mention these words, and just continued, "Later, the prefect Yan took away most of the people. Only some old widows and widows could not walk, and they voluntarily stayed in the mountains to wait for the end of their lives. The prefect was worried that there would be court officials in the future. Many people came here, those who stayed behind were likely to say something wrong, so they quietly sent a team of city guards back halfway, and silenced the people who stayed behind..."

When Mu Lian heard this, her face turned slightly cold.

This Yan Tao!When Tianhai City was destroyed by the sky fire, he clearly still loved the people like a son, but he did not expect that after the city was destroyed, he would start to fight against the people.

There were rumors about her in the imperial city before, and there was also his shadow in it. After she finished the matter here, she had to go back and settle with this person!
She looked at Shanshu Jing and said, "What happened to Luohuang Mountain after we moved away?"

"After you left, a group of men in black came here. They drilled deep into the ground and found the bones of the ancient phoenix buried here thousands of years ago. They polluted the bones of the phoenix with a special method. From that day on, There was a monster aura at the bottom of Luohuang Mountain. Later, the monster aura spread along the cracks in the ground and overflowed continuously, and it became what it is now."

Perhaps taking advantage of the gap between Peach Tree Spirit's words, Cedar Tree Spirit sorted out his thoughts, and what he said now was very fluent and clear.

"By the way, after the demonic energy overflowed, a man in black came here, and he brought a young human woman with him." It added.

"Are these men in black still underground?"

After hearing Mu Lian's question, the fir tree spirit looked at the peach tree spirit again. The two spirits looked at each other and then looked at Mu Lian.

In the end, it was the Peach Tree Spirit who said, "This is what I can't figure out. Those men in black disappeared after they stained the bones of the Phoenix. We searched the entire Luohuang Mountain, but we still couldn't find them."

disappeared?
Mu Lian lowered her head and thought for a moment, then she suddenly remembered the blood world that was opened in Tianhai City. Could it be that there is also a small world deep underground?If not, what is the reason for the inexplicable disappearance of those men in black?

"What about the man in black from behind? Is he still there?"

"That's right." The peach tree spirit nodded and said, "He and the human woman are still hiding in an underground cave here, but they don't have crystal orchids there, so they can't stop the attack of the evil spirit, and they may have been demonized by now gone."

Crystal orchid?
Seeing Mu Lian's curious face, the peach tree spirit pointed to some crystal-clear white magnolia flower petals growing in the rock crevices around the cave with a crutch, and said, "This is the crystal orchid. If it wasn't there, If we can block the demonic energy, we spirits and monsters will probably be demonized."

Mu Lian noticed that these crystal orchids were extremely rare, and they continuously emitted a faint white light around them. It seemed that these white lights were resisting the evil spirit.

"Tell me the location of the man in black's cave."

Luohuang Mountain has now become a maelstrom of monster energy, she must get rid of the hidden dangers here as soon as possible.

She had a hunch that it was no accident that the attack directions and routes of those monster races would converge at Luohuang Mountain.

-

In the imperial city, the bizarre skeleton cases that happened one after another failed to hide the truth from the people of the imperial city after all, and caused a great commotion in the city.

The cause of this incident was the corpse of a black armored soldier who had been eaten to death. The corpse of this person fell into a ditch and was not brought back by the person responsible for the search.

As a result, early the next morning, the people living in this area saw a bloody skeleton lying in the ditch outside their house as soon as they went out, and they were almost scared to death.

Although the government quickly sent someone to take away the skeleton, the people had already started to panic.

Why do good people become like this?
Seeing that the other party is dressed as a soldier, and the other party has become like this with force, what about ordinary people like them?Wouldn't it be faster to die?
For a time, there were many rumors of the reappearance of the monster race, and it was very loud in the city.

What's more, after extrapolating, those who turned into skeletons all have one thing in common, that is, they have all been to the vicinity of Wushuangpai.

As soon as this inference came out, many people scoffed at it. It seemed that this incident was caused by the monster clan. What does it have to do with Mu Shengneng!

The busybody who was ridiculed by everyone felt that his dignity had been insulted, and he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly.

So he tried everything possible to find out the identity of the dead soldier, and even found the other's home along the way, and found the other's family.

After some verification, the good guy announced his investigation results to the people of the entire Imperial City, that is, the dead black-armored soldier had indeed been to the gate of Tianxia Wushuang Sect!

Now, the people in the imperial city, who were originally disapproving, are also a little concerned.

Although going to the door of the Wushuang faction and turning into a skeleton sounds like a fake, but I can't stand the three of them becoming tigers!

Even if it's a lie, even if it's a rumor, if there are more people talking about it, it will become true, truer than real gold.

The next day, more than ten families were killed in the imperial city.

Now the common people don't need to be told, they will check it first.

As a result, they found that these ten or so families had not only been to the gate of Tianxia Wushuang faction, but had also slept in the gate of their gate, and it was not a few days ago.

The people suddenly panicked. They didn't know whether there was a relationship between the two, but they could imagine that there was a relationship between the two!
As a result, various conspiracy theories began to emerge in endlessly in the streets and alleys.

Some people said that these people made trouble at the entrance of Tianxia Wushuang faction, and angered a master of poison in the sect. For the sake of the sect's face, this person deliberately took revenge on these people.

Some people also said that he may not be a master of poison, but he must be very good at assassination.You must know that under Mu Sheng's sect, there is a ruthless and ruthless female killer.

Others said that Mu Sheng was dissatisfied with the previous actions of the people in the city, so he put a mysterious poison at the door of his house, which could kill people invisible.But everyone who passed by the door of the Wushuang faction was recruited.

However, there are hundreds of these claims, each of which sounds like it has a nose and eyes, but there is no way to prove it.

At this time, the previous troublemaker stood up again, and he said something that everyone had been ignoring.

That was the day before the first skeleton case occurred in the imperial city. People in the Tianxia Wushuang sect suddenly blocked the door and couldn't come out, and even the protective sect formation was activated.

This shows what?This shows that someone is guilty of doing something bad!If there is indeed poison outside the opponent's gate, then only by closing the sect will we not hurt our own people!
It has to be said that this statement of the troublemaker is very self-justifying, and many people believe it unconsciously.

Next, the good-for-nothing made a move that everyone admired. He decided to go to the gate of the Wushuang faction himself to see if there was any poison thrown there.

The monarch in the palace knows all kinds of movements in the city.

Although the director of the Imperial City Department did not disclose the truth about cannibalism to the public, he had to write a note and pass it to his lord!

Therefore, the monarch, who knew the inside story of the case of the bones of the imperial city, ordered the Imperial City Division, the Prison Division, and the Criminal Department to track down those abnormal people as soon as possible, and try to find a way to bring them under surveillance.And you can't arrest too many people at one time, otherwise it will cause panic among the people. This matter can only be done slowly, so new skeleton cases are happening every day in the imperial city.

Because of ignorance and fear, the common people kept making all kinds of speculations, pointing the finger at Tianxia Wushuang faction, or even pointing directly at Mu Sheng.

Although the king knew it, he could only let it go.

Although it is unreasonable to let Mu Sheng take the blame, but Mu Sheng is very powerful, who can do anything to her?

Before the situation stabilizes, it is the best thing to find a good outlet for the panic and anger of the people.

At this time, the monarch didn't know that the overall situation he thought he had stabilized would be messed up by some inconspicuous little people in the not-too-distant future.
