The villain is above: the villain master's handbook

At the end of the dark long street, there were two crimson lanterns hanging.

Shaking in the cold wind, it looked extraordinarily weird.

Mu Lian's consciousness landed on the two stone lions at the gate in front of them, and the two stone lions' staring eyes seemed to be spiritual, looking at them obliquely.

Then turn your attention upwards, and there is a majestic plaque with the three golden characters of the City Lord's Mansion on it.

From this point of view, the anomalies in Lin'an City are more or less related to the city lord.

The ghost puppet carried them into the city lord's mansion, and walked straight to the depths of the mansion.

Mu Lian frowned slightly, there was not a single gatekeeper in this courtyard.

They traveled unimpeded all the way to a rockery in the garden.

At this time, a person covered in black robe walked out of the rockery, and touched a mechanism, opening the secret passage for the puppet.

The secret passage is dark and damp, and the tunnels are tortuous and changeable. I don't know where each tunnel leads.

Because of the black-robed man who appeared suddenly before, Mu Lian didn't dare to unleash his consciousness, so he could only weakly explore the surrounding tunnels.

By the time they arrived at a strange underground place, Mu Lian had memorized the route they had come from, and this would serve as the passage for them to leave later.

The ghost puppet stopped, and Mu Lian and Ye Hanzhou were put on the ground.

Ye Hanzhou didn't know whether he was acting or really fell asleep, and leaned crookedly on his shoulder.

Mu Lian leaned against the wall behind her, not paying attention.

After the ghost puppets completed their tasks, they left here without staying.

When Mu Lian heard the sound of the Shimen closing, she suddenly opened her eyes.

"Cold boat."

Ye Hanzhou rubbed his face against his shoulder, his voice soft and sleepy.

"Master... so sleepy."

Mu Lian: "..."

This guy, really fell asleep?

Mu Lian had to admire Ye Hanzhou's big heart.

If it was Ye Hanzhou after rebirth, how could he be so relaxed? I'm afraid he is always vigilant.

After waking up Ye Hanzhou, Mu Lian began to survey the surrounding environment.

I saw a naturally formed cave in front of me, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

In the center of the cave, there is a pool of blood.

At this time, the blood pool exuded a strange light, and the light rushed towards a piece of red spar floating in the air.

Ye Hanzhou asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Mu Lian searched her memory, the more she understood, the more dignified her expression became.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "This is a blood crystal, which is refined from the energy and blood of humans and monks. When it is fully mature, it can be used by the ghost clan to greatly improve the ghost skills."

As he said that, Mu Lian suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a blood crystal with a similar function on Ye Hanzhou's body.

It's just that this crystal is called Xuegui, and it is a congealed product of the ghost king's blood essence. It is a token of love from the ghost king to Ye Hanzhou's mother Bai Ruozhi.

Before Bai Ruozhi passed away, she gave this crystal to Ye Hanzhou.

In the original book, Ye Hanzhou was forced to arouse the ghost energy in his body and practice the ghost clan skills because he activated the blood trick.

Now, thinking about it, it was still just an ordinary spar.

When Ye Hanzhou heard the words, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Just now, there was a sudden burst of heat in his chest.

What he cherished most, seemed to be eagerly longing for something.

Ye Hanzhou looked up at the blood crystal in the air, and touched the sharp fangs with the tip of his tongue.

Mu Lian came back to her senses, and glanced at the monks lying in disorder in the cave, including those who were walking with them.

"It turns out that the monks in Lin'an City disappeared like this. It seems that we have also been treated as food reserves. The most urgent thing is to wake them up."

"As for the blood crystal..." Mu Lian paused for a moment, and continued: "This matter involves the ghost clan, and it is of great importance. It needs to be reported to the sect immediately. The blood crystal is used by the ghost clan and must be completely destroyed. I am worried Yes, such blood crystals are probably more than this one..."

After all, there have been too many accidents recently, and it is difficult to guarantee whether those places are caused by monsters, or just like Yugang Town and Lin'an City, ghosts are behind the scenes.

Ye Hanzhou's eyes flashed, and he nodded silently.

The two separated to wake up those monks who had fallen asleep because of Meixiang.

Everyone woke up slowly, and they were all shocked when they saw the scene in front of them clearly.

"Where is this?"

"what is this?"

"My God! Why are we here?"

Mu Lian calmed them down and briefly explained to them.

After hearing the explanation, everyone was not at ease, but even more terrified.

Among them, Lu Xiu and others are alright, but their faces are also very ugly.

"This matter is not simple! I must return to the sect to report to the suzerain as soon as possible!"

Lu Xiu stood up, and went straight to Shimen without saying a word.

Just let him slash with the fairy sword or attack with magic, the stone gate is as stable as a rock, not moving at all.

Ye Hanzhou said: "This karst cave is blessed with formations, and you can only get out if you break the formation eyes or find the mechanism. What is more important now is to destroy this blood crystal."

With that said, he walked towards the center of the blood pool.

There seemed to be a transparent staircase in the air, and he walked up step by step, free from dust and blood.

Seeing that Mu Lian was only one step away from the blood crystal, a charming voice suddenly sounded.

"Master Qingfeng."

Mu Lian turned her head and looked at the person who spoke, it was Feng Ling'er, the saintess of the Hehuan School.

Feng Ling'er smiled charmingly, it can be described as charming.

"Daoist Qingfeng, it is true that this blood crystal is used by the ghost clan, but I, the Hehuan faction, are also very interested in this blood crystal."

If we say that the double cultivation method of the Acacia School is similar to that of Blood Crystal.

It's all about picking up and supplementing others to strengthen one's own skills.

It’s just that one fortifies essence qi, and the other fortifies qi and blood, both of which are related to qi.

Therefore, it was obvious what Hehuan faction was thinking.

It took only a moment for Mu Lian to understand Feng Linger's thoughts.

However, facing the beautiful woman with a smile like a flower, Mu Lian's face remained unchanged, extremely indifferent.

"Blood crystals are condensed by absorbing the blood of monks. They are the root of evil and are not tolerated by the law of heaven. After all, the Hehuan sect is a sect that can be called famous. Do you want to add sin to yourself and become an enemy of the law of heaven? "

Mu Lian's words were very serious, Feng Ling'er smiled and her face turned cold little by little.

Mu Lian no longer cared about her, and stretched out her slender palm towards the blood crystal floating in the air.

"Boom--"

With the opening of the stone gate, a black mist quickly hit Mu Lian's back.

Mu Lian reacted very quickly, turned around and slapped away the black mist.

The black mist appeared, it was the black-robed man in front of the rockery!

At the same time, a large number of ghost puppets flooded into the cave.

Compared with the number on the street before, it is much more!

I don't know how many monks were killed by the people behind the scenes to refine so many ghost puppets!

"Lu Xiu! Please protect everyone!"

His opponent was the man in black in front of him.

Besides him, the only person with the highest cultivation level is Lu Xiu.

The cultivation base of the ghost puppets is only half of what it was before they were alive, so Lu Xiu should be enough to deal with it.

"Leave it to me, Daoist Qingfeng."

Lu Xiu looked at the fluttering figure in white clothes in the air, and was filled with admiration in his heart.
