The villain is above: the villain master's handbook

After making a big fuss about the Jade Lotus Sect, Mu Lian seldom went out again.

He made people watch Leng Xinyue's movements, while he stayed in the Ice Palace for retreat all day long.

Except for Situ Li, Li Xiaohe, Gu Ran and other personal disciples who would come to the Ice Palace to ask him questions, only Xue Ren, Liu Ying, and Lu Xiu would occasionally come to chat with him.

Such days passed quickly, and a year seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

But after careful calculation, it seems to pass very slowly, and every day is extremely long.

Within this year, Lu Xiu broke through to the Nascent Soul Dzogchen, and was about to be promoted to Huashen, reaching the same great realm as Mu Lian.

Situ Li also broke through to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, while Li Xiaohe broke through to the Golden Core Stage.

However, the later comers caught up and broke through to the golden core at about the same time as Li Xiaohe, causing Li Xiaohe a lot of pressure and a sense of crisis.

Obviously his talent is not bad, even better than Gu Ran.

But he lost because he was lazy and didn't work hard without Gu Ran.

Under Gu Ran's comparison, Li Xiaohe made up his mind to practice more diligently.

It happened that the Zongmen had the task of going down the mountain to practice every year, so Li Xiaohe resolutely followed Situ Li and Gu Ran down the mountain.

With Situ Li leading the team, Mu Lian was very relieved. He only asked a few words, gave Chuan Shengyu, and stopped worrying.

The ghost race is sealed in the ghost world, and monsters and beasts are not a problem, Situ Li is enough to deal with it.

Mu Lian originally thought that this training session would be the same as this year, unremarkable and ordinary.

But after the experience was over, when Situli and the others returned, Li Xiaohe brought him a surprise.

This is the rare and happiest time for Mu Lian this year.

"Master, look what a big treasure I picked up!"

Li Xiaohe entered the Ice Palace mysteriously, his face extremely excited.

Mu Lian looked behind Li Xiaohe's legs, there was obviously a doll hiding there, and she couldn't even hide it.

Mu Lian didn't pay attention to it at first, until half of the doll's head protruded from behind Li Xiaohe's leg, he couldn't sit still.

"Where did you get this doll?"

Li Xiaohe proudly said: "During the training, I was rescued from the mouth of a monster! I am amazing!"

Mu Lian didn't care how the ordinary doll would appear in the forest where the monsters existed, she just looked at the doll with soft brows and eyes.

"Little friend, what's your name, how old are you this year?"

The doll has a lively expression and looks very intelligent.

He blinked his eyes wide, and replied in a childlike voice: "My name is Jiu Min, this year... um... one and a half years old!"

Jiumin?

Nine lives?

Mu Lian rolled her eyes, "Then you are amazing! You are only one and a half years old, and you can talk so much."

The baby pouted and snorted, looking very arrogant.

The simple-minded Li Xiaohe also hugged Jiu Min with You Rongyan, happily holding her high.

However, Mu Lian's next words shocked him so much that he almost dropped the doll to the ground.

Mu Lian said: "The teacher feels that this child is destined to be a teacher, why not accept him as a direct disciple."

Li Xiaohe was stunned, he didn't expect that he would pick up a doll and become his junior brother.

Of course, he was more surprised.

"Master, is it true? Then I'm finally going to be a senior brother?!"

Mu Lian couldn't help but laugh, "Well, congratulations on your promotion to Senior Brother."

Li Xiaohe immediately jumped up with Jiu Min in his arms.

"Junior Brother! Junior Brother! You are my Junior Brother!"

"I must train you to be a junior who listens to the senior!"

One person and one baby danced for a while, and turned around for a while.

Playing and laughing, enjoying themselves, very friendly and harmonious.

As a result, Mu Lian's daily retreat was not pure anymore.

In addition to teaching his disciples to practice, he also had to help Li Xiaohe raise his baby.

After all, it was Li Xiaohe's first time raising him, so he had no experience.

Among the elders around him, only Mu Lian is closest to him.

Mu Lian naturally became the object of his inquiry and study.

Mu Lian has no experience in raising children, but if he has never eaten pork, it does not mean that he has never seen a pig run away.

In modern times, as soon as you go out, you can see people strolling with their babies.

Even if you don't go out, you will learn a lot on the Internet unintentionally.

Bringing a baby, the most important thing is nothing more than eating and drinking.

Li Xiaohe looked hesitantly at Jiu Min who was eating the chicken leg, and said softly.

"Jiujiu may have eaten it. I don't need someone to teach me. I'm really afraid that one day he will eat me poor."

What Jiu Min ate was all food with spiritual energy, and all of them needed to be bought with spiritual stones.

Even though he, as Wu Lianfeng's direct disciple, has a lot of resources every month, he can't help Jiu Min eats without restraint, regardless of day or night.

Mu Lian thought of the mountain of useless spiritual stones in her ring, without thinking too much, waved her hands, and threw out a small mountain of spiritual stones without feeling any pain.

"Take it to Jiujiu to make up for it. When the baby was young, it was the time when the body was growing, so you can't fall behind in eating."

"Thank you, Master!"

Li Xiaohe accepted it happily, but Jiu Min who was beside him understood but didn't seem to understand.

He didn't know what Li Xiaohe meant just now, but he felt that it was not a good thing.

But he also knew that these spirit stones in front of him could be used to buy and eat, so he didn't care so much at once, and only excitedly helped Li Xiaohe carry the spirit stones.

Li Xiaohe put the mountain-like spirit stone into the ring, and suddenly heard a gurgling sound.

The source of the sound came from Jiu Min's stomach next to his legs.

Li Xiaohe's face showed a look of horror, "Jiujiu, you don't mean to have papa, do you?"

Mu Lian was also a little panicked upon hearing this.

In modern times, there are such things as diapers.

But even if you use diapers, you still have to wipe your baby's buttocks.

Not to mention that now, there is no such thing as diapers, so what should we do?

"How does he usually go to the toilet?"

Li Xiaohe was stunned, a little at a loss.

"I don't think I've seen it before."

Mu Lian had a headache, and suggested: "Or, why don't you hold him on your lap and give him a hand?"

"Put what?"

Li Xiaohe was very confused, he looked at Mu Lian, then at Jiu Min beside his leg.

"Big fool!"

A look of disgust flashed in Jiu Min's eyes, she pouted dissatisfiedly, and ran out clutching her stomach.

Li Xiaohe hurried to catch up, but as soon as he left the palace gate, Jiu Min disappeared.

He is obviously short-legged, how could he run so fast?

Li Xiaohe was puzzled when he heard some movement from the nearby grass.

He didn't think much, and hurriedly followed.

The vegetation on the top of the peak is not very lush, and the movement has been rushing down the mountain.

Li Xiaohe followed all the way to the halfway up the mountain, and came to a dense forest.

The grass here is tall, taller than Jiu Min.

Li Xiaohe still didn't see the figure, so he couldn't help calling out.

"Jiujiu! Are you hiding in here? Come out, stop playing!"

There was no response from the grass, and after a while, there was a sudden rustling sound.

Li Xiaohe swallowed, stepped suspiciously into the dense jungle, and walked towards the place where the noise came from.

After he stood still, he bent down cautiously, and then suddenly pushed aside the grass.

"Nine nine!"

Li Xiaohe shouted loudly, trying to scare the people in the grass.

But in the grass, where is the figure of the powder carved jade doll.

There was only a little black wild cat, pouted with its buttocks, digging the dirt under its feet with its paws.

Li Xiaohe was stunned, "When did Wu Lianfeng come to the wild cat?"

No, that's not the point at all!

Li Xiaohe remembered the important point, and quickly stood up and looked around.

"Jiujiu! Where is Jiujiu? Jiujiu, where are you!"

"It's ninety-nine."

Li Xiaohe was first startled by Mu Lian's sudden appearance, and then his face was full of disbelief.

"Who is Jiujiu? It?"

He pointed to the little wild cat who was digging the earth to bury the hole, feeling very outrageous.

Mu Lian nodded without laughing.

"Master, I forgot to mention that Jiujiu's body is a nine-tailed cat."

The little wild cat finally buried the hole, and raised its tail proudly upon hearing this.

Li Xiaohe looked at the spiritual little wild cat who seemed to understand human speech, and repeated in a daze.

"Nine-tailed cat?"

Mu Lian murmured: "Well, it can only be said to be a descendant of the Nine-tailed Cat, it is not yet a Nine-tailed Cat."

"A nine-tailed cat, in addition to growing a tail through practice, will also grow a new tail every 20 years. When it grows to the eighth tail, it must fulfill someone's wish in order to grow the ninth tail."

"But the nine tails are not so easy to grow. Every wish, it needs to consume one of its own tails to fulfill, and it goes back and forth. Countless 20 years have passed, and it may not grow a ninth tail."

Li Xiaohe was engrossed in listening to the story as if he was listening to a story, and he was very impressed.

"Nine-tailed cats are really self-sacrificing, so how can they cultivate to the ninth tail?"

Mu Lian shook her head and said, "I'm afraid even Nine-tailed Cat doesn't know about this problem."

Li Xiaohe nodded thoughtfully, and then jumped up excitedly as if he suddenly realized something.

"Master! Then that... Jiu Min may become a nine-tailed cat!"

Mu Lian said helplessly, "Yes."

The golden pupil of the little black cat glared at Li Xiaohe, then curled up, slowly turning into a milk doll.

Milk Baby looked at Li Xiaohe with disgust, and corrected: "It's not possible! It's definitely!"

Li Xiaohe replied with a smirk: "Okay, yes, definitely!"

After laughing, he picked up the doll, with a flattering and flattering expression on his face.

"Then, Jiujiu."

The milk doll snorted, "Say!"

"Since you will become a nine-tailed cat, you must help others fulfill their wishes. I want to say, that..."

"For the sake of keeping you for a long time, after you become an eight-tailed cat, don't go looking for others. I'm ready-made, so you can help me fulfill my wish!"

Eight tails, at most, is 160 years.

For monks, it's just a snap of the fingers.

What's more, if Jiu Min cultivates quickly, the time will be greatly shortened.

When the time comes, he will have to ask Jiu Min to help him find his senior sister. The world of cultivation is so big that he doesn't know which family his senior sister has reincarnated into.

Jiu Min was very arrogant, shaking her head with her waist in her hands.

"Look at my mood and your performance!"

Li Xiaohe was very happy, picked up Jiu Min and spun around.

It seemed that Jiu Min had already agreed and it was a certainty.

Jiu Min was thrown so dizzy that she kicked her short legs for a long time before she was finally released.

He glared at Li Xiaohe angrily, and spoke in a childish voice.

"Tell me first, what is your wish?"

Li Xiaohe pursed his lips, and the smile on his face was restrained, rarely looking very serious.

He said sincerely word by word: "I want to know who my senior sister has reincarnated into, and then I want to see her live a good life, happy and safe, and that's enough."

Jiu Min was stunned when he heard that, "Don't you make a wish for yourself?"

"Senior Sister died to protect me. My greatest wish is to hope that she will be safe and successful in this life."

Li Xiaohe lowered his head in frustration, and his voice was muffled.

Jiu Min didn't understand, but seemed to understand some emotions.

He pouted his lips and nodded vigorously with his chubby face.

"Then I will try my best to cultivate to eight tails, and help you find senior sister!"

Li Xiaohe was very moved: "Thank you, Jiujiu—"

Thank you now, as if Yao is very simple, something that can be achieved soon.

Mu Lian shook her head with a smile, looking at the two hugging each other, she felt the long-lost warmth.

This is very good, and it can also promote Jiu Min's cultivation.

Let nature take its course and allow time to surprise the two of them.

Mu Lian turned and left, waiting for the two to laugh and play in the grass.

He returned to the Ice Palace and was about to continue his retreat when he accidentally glanced at the window sill.

On the window sill, there is an exquisite vase of spiritual artifacts.

In the vase, the lavender stamen that hasn't changed for a long time has grown a lot, and the buds seem to have opened and closed a little, exuding vitality.

Believe that in time, it will bloom and produce the most beautiful flowers.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Mu Lian suddenly had expectations, looking forward to tomorrow, the next tomorrow, countless tomorrows.

There is always a tomorrow, and it will be the tomorrow he wants to see.

Amidst the gray mist, a figure passed by with a sword in hand.

Accompanied by bursts of shrill roars, a rare moment of clarity returned to the air.

The man in black flew up a giant tree without touching the ground, and sat down with his back against the tree pole.

He has never sheathed the sword, and now he is playing with it casually in his hand.

"Tell me, what's it like outside now?"

There was obviously no one around, and the man seemed to be talking to himself, talking to the air.

However, something amazing happened, and a voice really responded to him.

The voice was rough and low, as if he wasn't very used to speaking.

"The secret realm is so quiet, there should be nothing major happening. If there is anything, the secret realm must not be peaceful."

Ye Hanzhou nodded, and suddenly fell silent for a while.

"Then you say... my master respects him, is it okay?"

He has asked this question many times.

Obviously there is no answer, but I deceive myself and want to seek some comfort.

I have heard about Miehunjian many times, and I know what Ye Hanzhou wants to ask next.

It trembled the blade, unable to cooperate.

"Your master must be safe. I haven't seen you for a year. I must miss you too. It's just that the secret realm is closed, so I didn't come to look for you."

Ye Hanzhou felt a little more at ease, and he pursed his lips and smiled for some reason.

"I miss Master too."

"Really Want."
