The villain is right beside me

When the full moon was bright, the formation on the mountain seemed to be illuminated by a ray of moonlight, and a deep passage suddenly appeared.

Some people who had been prepared ran in quickly and their figures disappeared after stepping into the passage.

Mu Qing looked at the people around him rushing in one by one, and followed them. After a dazzling light flashed in front of his eyes, when he opened his eyes again, he was already deep in a red maple forest. All around him were vast mountains, and the red maples on the mountains were like clouds, brilliant like a red sea.

"Outside the mountain is all an illusion, but inside it is very vast." Seeing that there was no one around, Mu Qing stepped onto the tree trunk and was thinking about countermeasures.

If there are dangers everywhere and there are many greedy guys eyeing him, the best way for him to survive is actually not to fight.

Hey, I won’t fight with you, I won’t compete with you, I’ll just hang out in there…

Lao Wang was speechless: "Can you be more promising? There might be something very good for you here."

Mu Qing smiled and said, "I already have the greatest treasure, which is the ancient scripture. Although it is deserted, I can still find a good place to practice. I will stay there for a month. Besides, it's not my will to come here."

Lao Wang urged him: "Hurry up and leave! Otherwise I will annoy you to death. I will annoy you to death all day long!"

"Someone..." Mu Qing told him to shut up quickly, with a bit more nervousness and caution in his eyes, as another new person was sent here.

They were disciples from the same sect, a handsome young man and a lovely and pretty girl following him. Mu Qing couldn't remember their names, but they looked quite close.

The two looked around and there seemed to be no one, so they left to the east.

Mu Qing recalled the map in the jade slip. The northern part was an undeveloped area, the eastern part should be the library, and other places were almost developed.

Mu Qing galloped towards the north.

I always forget and don’t understand.

"This ban will be lifted in a few years. Almost everyone who has entered has dug up the areas that need to be opened up. What's left is the unopened area in the north that no one dares to enter. Therefore, the safe areas marked on the map are actually nothing to look at."

It took Mu Qing two days to reach a place that was not marked on the map. During these two days, he tried his best to avoid places where there were people. So far, except for some minor fights, it has been relatively quiet in these two days.

There was not even the sound of a bird singing inside, and it was completely lifeless, but it showed how glorious this sect once was.

Along the way, Mu Qing also saw many abandoned buildings and halls engraved with spiritual patterns. All of them were buried under the yellow sand, looking desolate and full of sadness.

He couldn't help but sigh, and even thought that if one day Piao Miao Sect ceased to exist like this sect, the past history, all the glory and splendor, would only be buried together with memories in the long river of time.

Mu Qing seemed to have some new insights into the ancient scriptures.

He went deep into a basin, and in the center of the basin there was a hole with a diameter of three meters. It was bottomless and it was a forbidden area.

This is not marked on the map.

"How do you think this hole was formed?" Mu Qing asked.

"Who knows? Why don't we just go in and take a look?"

Mu Qing kicked down a stone and fell into a deep hole, but he didn't hear any echo!

Mu Qing wielded the sword and took out the moonstone. The soft, pale white light was extremely dazzling in the dark cave.

There were gusts of cold wind coming from the cave, blowing across the face, chilling to the bone. At the same time, there was a faint rustling sound, like crying or whispering, which made one's scalp tingle.

Mu Qing couldn't help but look up, only to see a small bright white dot left at the entrance of a cave that was who knows how far away it was. He lowered his head and leaned forward. The roads crisscrossed and led straight to the ground. It was simply a bottomless abyss.

"What is the purpose of this kind of underground tunnel in a general sect?" Mu Qing couldn't understand. It was pitch black around him and he could only determine the direction by the only light in his hand.

"Hmm?" Mu Qing heard a sound like metal friction coming from inside. Has someone already gone in?

He walked over quietly, put away the moonlight bead in his hand, and gathered his spiritual power into his eyes, making it easier to see clearly in the dark.

Gradually he began to feel that the sound was very strange, like the harsh sound of chalk rubbing against a blackboard, which made him feel creepy.

Mu Qing suddenly held his breath and saw an extremely frightening scene.

In front of him was a strange man with purple skin, disheveled hair, and the nails of his hands and feet were sharpened into blades. What was even more shocking was that he had no ears, nose or mouth, just a pair of lifeless, pale eyes staring at the front.

He was almost lying on the ground, and the sound of his fingernails scraping against the ground was indeed scary. This strange and terrifying appearance made Mu Qing extremely confused.

What is this ghost?

The strange man seemed not to see him and kept crawling forward. It looked really scary. Mu Qing didn't want to have any contact with him and quickly avoided him.

Mu Qing passed by him. Mu Qing turned around and looked at his miserable appearance. Suddenly, he thought, could he be from this ruins? He came from the same place as that crazy old man.

If that's the case, then he should have lived for a very long time.

"Lao Wang, do you think he still has any ability to cultivate?"

"I can't tell." Lao Wang said, "But I think you'd better not contact him. Go in and see if there are any other people there."

Mu Qing ran in, and the deeper he went, the more he could feel a chill.

Mu Qing came to a pool of black water. It was dark, as pitch black as the night, and exuded bursts of heart-pounding chills.

"This is a cold spring, the coldest spring in the world. Once you get close to it, it will freeze into ice." Lao Wang said, "But this kind of extremely yin place must also produce some extremely yin treasures. Do you want to jump in and take a look?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Mu Qing was about to go around it when a cool, white light shone on the water. Mu Qing looked up and realized that it was open to the sky. A bright moonlight was reflected on the water.

A strange scene appeared.

The moonlight reflected on the water was not pure and white, but a blood-red full moon! It was as if the entire spring was an open devil's eye.

This is······

Mu Qing couldn't help but be curious and looked towards the water. The blood moon seemed like an eye staring at him. When he looked up at the full moon in the sky, the hole in the ring and the bright moon seemed like an angel's eye.

Mu Qing seemed to have discovered something. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, then at the blood-red reflection on the water. If you didn't look carefully, it would be hard to see that the blood-red moon reflected on the water seemed to overlap with another bright moon.

Mu Qing suddenly thought of the strange eyes of the weird man just now. It didn’t seem like he had no eyeballs, but his eye membrane and eyeballs were both white, and because they overlapped, they looked so scary.

"What did he see?" Mu Qing thought about it and made an unexpected move. He jumped directly into the water!

Suddenly, a chill spread throughout my body, and my entire body became numb from the cold.

Mu Qing opened his eyes wide and looked at the moon on the water, as if his eyes overlapped with the moonlight in the sky.

Before he could hold on for a while, a thick layer of black ice had formed on his body, like an ice sculpture. Mu Qing couldn't stand it anymore, so he rushed out.

"boom"

There were constant flashes of light in the black ice. It took dozens of breaths of time before Mu Qing broke through the ice, shaking off the ice cubes to the ground. At this moment, his face was blue and purple, and his lips were trembling.

"This sect was formerly called the Holy Moon Sect, so all of their techniques should be related to the moon. It can't be a coincidence that this spring is here. What's the meaning of the reflected blood moon overlapping with the moon in the sky?"

Mu Qing's entire body was shaking and shivering, spiritual energy continuously emanating from his body to expel the cold air. Bursts of black mist could be seen emerging from his body, and the surrounding stone ground was instantly frozen by the black mist.

Mu Qing took a deep breath and then jumped in again. This time, he stayed for a full quarter of an hour before he rushed out of the water. At this moment, he had completely turned into a big block of ice, shining with black light and piercingly cold.

This time, it took Mu Qing an hour to break out of the ice. His whole body was black and purple, and black mist was spewing out of all the pores. A large area was covered with black ice, and many rocks were frozen and cracked.

"There should be another moon!" Mu Qing pondered for a long time and got this answer.

Mu Qing jumped out of the cave. It was really torture to stay inside, but he also gained some enlightenment from it.

"Why are there still some restrictions outside this sect that haven't been lifted after it was destroyed? Why are the lunatics outside and the weirdos inside guarding here? Is there something else in here that's worth searching for..."

After thinking for a while, Mu Qing marked the attachment and left. He couldn't see anything, but his intuition told him that there must be something extraordinary inside!

After Mu Qing left, a strange man with purple skin crawled out of the cave. Then he stood up and ran into the woods.

The strange man looked at the bright moonlit night sky. Stars seemed to appear in his eyes, and the area around his eye sockets became dark and deep, except for his pupils, which were as white as snow.
