I am pretending to be a villain in the world of cultivating immortals

Seven days have passed since the Shenlin general election.

At the beginning of a new day, Yu Huaiyin and his group stood on the suspension bridge leading to the fifth floor of the demon realm and looked back. The palace of the Asking Spider Clan was as far away as a grain of white sand in a quagmire, and they couldn't see clearly.

Contrary to imagination, Xue Ji did not appear again, and they sat on Xiao Bai's back and left the swamp unimpeded.

It was unimaginable that it went smoothly, as if the ambitious demon lord really treated people as kindly as the rumors in the world, and all the temptations last night were just a whim.

Along the way, Liang Ce frowned, and several times he put his hand on the mace pendant to test it with spiritual power. He could clearly perceive the abnormal fluctuations in the inner space of the magic weapon, as if something inside was attracted by external force , is constantly impacting the enchantment.

Yu Huaiyin, who was standing opposite the Liang Book, naturally didn't know his worries, thought it was the little apprentice's persecution paranoid attack again, and was thinking about how to enlighten him.

Dong Zhu said inarticulately: "In front of the Immortal Elder is the territory of the Garland Crane."

After Dong Zhu finished speaking, he looked towards Zhou Ke, and seeing the woman in red smiled at him, he immediately patted Su Xuanzhi on the shoulder as if inspired, and chatted with the boy in white.

But obviously, Su Xuanzhi didn't want to waste time on him, so he kept silent, only Dong Zhu was still talking to himself.

Seeing this, Zhou Ke didn't stop her, and let Dong Zhu harass her left and right, secretly rejoicing that her hard work these days was not in vain, and finally let this half-demon learn how to communicate with people.

"Garland Crane?" Shi Shushu, who was walking at the back, immediately became energetic when he heard the name.

Ever since he got the inheritance of the Sorrow Stone, he has long since lost his timidity towards the monster race. Thinking of what was recorded in the book, he asked curiously: "Isn't that the famous fairy bird in Tianxuan Kingdom that symbolizes longevity and elegance?" , I heard that it was extinct hundreds of years ago. And even though it is called a fairy bird, it is actually an ordinary mortal bird, how could it fall into a demon race?"

"The so-called fairy monster is not in itself, it's just a title. Maybe the reason why monsters are called monsters is because the world likes to give such names to those who disobey their orders." Yu Huaiyin seemed to be talking casually, but he was extremely nervous .

He took a deep breath, tried his best to avoid the abyss under his feet covered by clouds and mist, and was the first to step on the old suspension bridge.

"The fairy elder's words are interesting. I think people in the world really like to judge others based on their own likes and dislikes. Most of them are unfair."

Shi Shushu agreed, but after waiting for a long time, the figure on the bridge did not move a step forward. He thought the Taoist was enjoying the scenery, so he relaxed and looked around.

The terrain in the sacred forest is rugged, and the mountains, rivers, plants and trees are also full of strange things, and everything cannot be explained by common sense in the world.

Take the scenery in front of you as an example, who would have thought that at the end of a swamp, there would be an abyss and rift valley that could not be seen at a glance, and there was a wooden bridge in this valley, and the other side of the bridge was continuous barren mountains and wild ridges , It is snowing heavily.

The back is summer, and the road ahead is winter. This fairyland is really frosty and hot, and the seasons are impermanent.

After a while, the Taoist on the bridge moved, but his steps were extremely slow.

Then everyone followed carefully, concentrating on exploring the surroundings, for fear that any unknown danger would suddenly emerge from the bottom of the bridge and attack.

The wind from the valley mixed with the coolness of the snow was blowing head-on, which made Yu Huaiyin's consciousness clearer.

It's ridiculous to say that he often uses the villain's career of more than 800 lifetimes as a talking point, and he will taste and ponder over and over again when he has nothing to do.

I personally think that these shady things have allowed him to overcome many psychological obstacles, and he has honed a heart that can be calm in the face of life and death.

But at the moment he was standing on the suspension bridge, he always felt that his hands and feet were not in control.

According to past experience, he is not afraid of heights, but only afraid of far-reaching and dark places.

This feeling is as if he was once locked in a dark room. Years of loneliness and darkness made him unable to feel the passage of time. His whole body was like a piece of wood buried deep in the ground, which would eventually rot slowly. , eventually dissipating into nothing.

The wooden boards under his feet made weird creaking noises, tempting and forcing him to face the fear in his heart.

Yu Huaiyin panted heavily, he clenched his sleeves tightly, and looked down involuntarily.

Maybe it was a hallucination, he saw a man-eating monster emerging from the abyss, grabbing his legs and trying to drag him into hell.

In the next second, he could barely stand and fell to the side, but was firmly supported by a pair of hands.

"Master, are you afraid of heights?" Liang Ce has been standing at a place where Yu Huai can walk in one step after disappearing.

Speaking of which, from the moment he got on the bridge, Liang Chi noticed something strange about Yu Huaiyin.The reason why he didn't take any action for a long time was because he guessed that if his master was afraid of heights and wanted someone to help him, he would never walk in the front.

Well, since Yu Huaiyin wanted to hide this weakness, why would he want someone to help him in full view, so Liang Ce only used a little bit of spiritual power to let his master understand that even if he couldn't hold on for a while Yes, someone will catch him.

"It's not that I'm afraid of heights, but I'm afraid of places that are very empty but without light." Yu Huaiyin replied without hiding anything, everyone has weaknesses, so why be ashamed to say so.

Liang Chi was thoughtful about this answer, and said seriously: "Actually, disciples are also afraid."

Suddenly, Liang Chi thinks of his childhood.

The Tanlang Underground Palace is always pitch-black, and the only light is the ever-burning lamps that are occasionally lit when the coffins of the tribe are buried and carried to the tomb.

He remembered that Yu Huaiyin should have been to that underground palace, but because of his current identity change, he had no choice but to say that he didn't know it at all, "I remember when I was young, my disciple lived alone in a big palace, where there was no daylight. There is no sunlight, only a very dim lamp, when they are all burning, it will make people feel warm."

The good book motivates the two to know each other, and quietly tells Yu Huaiyin his past feelings.

"But if you light all the candles greedily, the light will always disappear, so when those lights go out, the disciple will close his eyes and imagine that the lights are still there, and light them up over and over again in his heart, slowly I don't feel scared anymore."

When a person is trusted unconditionally by another person, he will become more courageous if he relies on it.

Listening to Liang Chu's words, Yu Huaiyin knew that someone was supporting him from behind, so he closed his eyes and went to the bottom of his heart, the place covered by a cloud of black mist.

There seemed to be a figure floating there, and he walked forward with a lamp, and his pace was a little faster, and just when he wanted to see clearly what was hidden in the fog.

"Master has reached the other side." Liang Chu's voice sounded.

When Yu Huaiyin opened his eyes, he saw the white snow, and at the same time he noticed that the sentence Cai Liangce said was not sound transmission.

His expression changed, and when he turned around, he heard the young man in red say: "Master, just halfway through the walk, the disciple stopped supporting you with spiritual power, so you walked this distance alone."

The young man smiled, at first he was asking him for credit, but when Liang Chi found that Yu Huaiyin had been looking at him, the smile on the young man's face widened, as if he was proud of playing some tricks, but still Brilliant.

The sound of the wind in my ears stopped for a moment.

Yu Huaiyin looked away with some nostalgia, remembering the description about the Garlanded Crane in the original book.

On the suspension bridge, Xiaobai dragged his huge demon body and barely squeezed over it.

Yu Huaiyin said to Dong Zhu: "The Garland Crane family has had a long-standing grudge against mortals. This monster is good at concealing its body shape, and its speed is extremely fast. If you don't want to hurt its life, you can't do anything to them with ordinary means. Xiaobai's monster The body is too conspicuous. It is inconvenient for us to move in numbers, if we want to walk through this demon domain safely, let it take the demon body, which can save trouble."

Dong Zhu understood, turned around and said a few words to Xiao Bai in a demonic language, and then he stimulated the demon power in his body, and Xiao Bai's figure turned into a ring-sized decoration in a flash and lay on Dong Zhu's index finger.

The fifth layer of demon land is mostly mountain roads full of thorns.

In the original book, Liang Ce and his party fought against the Garland Crane clan here, causing all of them to be stained with demon blood. Just when there was no way forward, Liang Ce was plotted and accidentally fell into Jiao King's tomb. Just started a new copy.

In this way, according to the original plot, they should have killed all the way up.

But a villain who only uses violence and doesn't use his brain is definitely not a good villain.

Behind a snow-covered mountain rock, Yu Huaiyin turned sideways and glanced at a few little demons standing on the dead trees to watch, he turned around and said: "The mountain road is difficult and there are demon clans to handle it, why don't we go from this cliff Climbing up is worse than fighting those crane monsters that can hide."

Several people deliberated and nodded in agreement.

Su Xuanzhi had done hard labor in Wuwangsi's snow-capped mountains for several years, so he had a lot of research on rock-climbing. He went to the mountain wall and brushed off the fresh snow, and said, "Xianchang, this mountain seems to have been It is covered with snow, but the bottom is full of years of ice, so it must be slippery and unattainable, how about Ah Man and I go to the top of the mountain first and use vines to pull you up."

"Okay." Yu Huaiyin responded.

With a thought in Su Xuan's mind, he summoned Ah Man, and as soon as the beauty of the green vine appeared, a slender vine hung on the rock wall, and under the urging of the demonic power, it sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Everyone raised their heads, and in the blink of an eye, the figure of the boy in white disappeared, only Su Xuanzhi's voice came from above: "Just hold these vines."

Then, a series of vines hung down from the mountain wall, and the fresh green and white snow blended together, which was so untimely.

Yu Huaiyin and the others let the vines wrap around their waists, and then were pulled upwards little by little.

……

On the top of the mountain, several people stood at the highest point.

Yu Huaiyin saw from a distance that there was indeed a dead giant tree on the snow mountain in the middle of the forest.

The tree soared into the clouds, with no branches, and looked as old as a centenarian whose spine had been bent by the years in the snow-covered plateau mountains.

It can be traced back to the source, and this tree is more than a hundred or a thousand years old.

According to legend, the tree was already there when the heaven and the earth first opened, so all mortals can look up to is its roots.

Seeing this scene, Yu Huaiyin knew that his judgment was correct, and all he had to do now was to wait.

Wait for those who want to harm Liang Chu to show up, let him and Liang Chu go to the imperial tomb of Qingyu Jiao King with the help of these people.

"Ake be careful—" Dong Zhu's cry caught everyone's attention.

Looking at the reputation, Dong Zhu stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Ke up near the top of the mountain, but saw an invisible shadow behind the woman in red, desperately pulling Zhou Ke down.

"No, we were discovered by the crane demon." Yu Huaiyin squatted down to pull the vines tied to Zhou Ke's body, only to realize that the crane demon's brute force was terrifying, and there were more than one of them.

"Ah Man quickly pull people up." Su Xuanzhi circulated his spiritual power, prompting Ah Man to start a tug-of-war with those invisible crane monsters.

Seeing that Zhou Ke was about to be pulled up to the top of the mountain, the crane demon screamed and turned to attack the thin vines on her body.

Although Ah Man's cultivation base is high, birds are born to be the nemesis of vegetation and monsters.

With this peck, the vine broke instantly.Zhou Ke's face turned pale, it seemed that when the crane demon was gnawing on the vine, it also pecked at her flesh and blood.

"Hurry up and save people!" Seeing that Zhou Ke was injured, Yu Huaiyin knew that there must be a fight, so he sacrificed his pistol, wanting to deal with these haunting crane monsters first.

Unexpectedly, this crane demon seems to be very human. They knew that they were no match for the few people on the mountain, so they grabbed Zhou Ke's clothes and wanted to drag them away.

The crane at the head even held Zhou Ke's hair in a weird way, and it seemed that it meant to tear him to pieces.

However, as a demon hunter, Zhou Ke was not like an ordinary woman. At the critical moment of being captured by the crane demon, she seemed to think of something, and suddenly pulled out the dagger at her waist, and cut her hair vigorously.

The moment the wind and snow whizzed and the black hair scattered, she also closed her eyes, her hands and feet drooped, and she even held her breath for a while.

Garland cranes do not eat dead matter.

Suddenly, those cranes found that Zhou Ke had not moved, so they released their grip on her and circled away.

In mid-air, Zhou Ke, who was falling rapidly, opened her eyes suddenly, and she took the opportunity to wave the thorn whip in her hand.

East Spider grasped the tail of the whip cooperatively and held it firmly in his hand. With a push on his arm, Zhou Ke spotted a rock protrusion and kicked hard. The whole person jumped up with the strength and landed smoothly on the ground. over the top of the mountain.

After standing still, Zhou Ke fell to his knees heavily and vomited a big mouthful of blood.

Dong Zhu stepped forward to help her, and was about to ask her how her injury was.

"You see these cranes are so strange, they haven't left yet." Shi Shushu noticed the clue, and he pointed to the figures that appeared behind the clouds.

Everyone looked up and saw that the crane monsters were constantly tearing at Zhou Ke's chopped off black hair. The difference was that they no longer concealed their bodies, but revealed their true monsters.

Yu Huaiyin looked intently, and found that this so-called garland crane was no different from the one he saw on the roof of the Immortal Crane Inn.

The crane has a slender neck, a very thin beak, a black tail, and white wings, torso, and feet. It is a rare and extremely beautiful bird in the world.

But for some reason, the fairy birds with such a graceful appearance are actually bloodthirsty, and look at the top of their heads, there is a piece of baldness, and the bones of the bones can be vaguely seen.

"These cranes seem to be particularly interested in hair." Liang Chi thought of Zhou Ke's method of getting out of trouble, and saw the abnormality of this monster.

Everyone wondered.

"I know why." Zhou Ke stood up staggeringly. She covered her belly that was still oozing blood with her hands, and her short messy hair that reached her chin half-hid her pale face. Indescribable beauty.

She laughed at herself, and let go of the only wisp of black hair left in her hand, "I can't imagine that it has been so long, and they still remember the aura of the demon hunter."
