TV series: Daily life of male supporting role

Chapter 572: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Black Mountain Demon 04

Xiaoqian returned to her own ashes with a scarred face to recuperate. Xiaoqian's ashes were originally placed on the tree demon, but the tree demon was afraid that Xiaoqian's soul would be scattered, so he let her return to her own urn to recuperate.

The tree demon looked at the female ghosts hiding in the dark with a sullen look on his face, and shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Go and collect Yang Qi for me. Whoever collects the least Yang Qi will end up like Nie Xiaoqian."

"Yes!" The female ghosts trembled when they were yelled at, and they responded quickly. Then a few gusts of cold wind passed by, and when they left, the entire Lanruo Temple became quiet in an instant.

The tree demon glared at Nie Xiaoqian's urn with annoyance, then transformed into its original form, took root in the soil, and absorbed the Yin energy underground to practice.

Lanruo Temple was originally a mass grave with many skeletons of people who died unjustly or tragically. The tree demon absorbed the resentment here and cultivated into a demon. Later, the tree demon felt that this way of cultivation was too slow, so he began to have evil thoughts.

At first, the tree demon only absorbed the Yang energy of passers-by to practice, but later his appetite grew bigger and bigger. Because he absorbed the Yang energy too slowly, he killed the pretty women passing by, and then imprisoned their ashes so that they could not leave here after death. In order to prevent his soul from being scattered, they could only help him seduce passers-by to absorb his Yang energy.

Nie Xiaoqian, hiding in the urn, secretly glanced at her grandmother who had turned into her original form, and gradually began to think about how to leave Lanruo Temple.

……

Li Muyang knew it when the tree demon came to his territory. In order to prevent the tree demon from trying to get close to him again, he spread his mental power outward and followed the tree demon back to Lanruo Temple. Naturally, he also saw the scene where he beat Nie Xiaoqian to vent his anger.

Seeing this, Li Muyang frowned slightly, thinking that it was not unreasonable that the tree demon would be backstabbed by the female ghost he raised and beaten to death.

Li Muyang saw the hatred for the tree demon in Nie Xiaoqian's eyes as she hid back in the urn.

Even the female ghosts who left Lanruo Temple for "work" feared the tree demon more than respected it. It could be said that the tree demon now did not have any capable and loyal subordinates.

Unlike him, Heishan's strength is also one of the best in the demon world. Most of the ghosts and monsters who come to him for surrender are sincere, unlike the tree monsters who mostly surrender out of calculation. Heishan was flattered before and didn't care whether the tree monsters surrendered to him sincerely.

But now that Li Muyang has become Black Mountain, he naturally knows the tree demon's plan. He intends to divert the disaster eastward, hoping that Black Mountain will fight against Yan Chixia and his master, while the tree demon hides behind.

Heishan had lived for thousands of years, so naturally there were some Taoists and monks who had caused him trouble, but he had thrown them all back to their sects.

Over time, the reputation of those Xuanmen sects was damaged because of Heishan's outrageous actions. They also planned to join forces with other forces to encircle and suppress him, but they were all defeated by him. After that battle, no one was so ignorant as to cause trouble for him anymore.

In order to save their reputation, the Xuanmen said that they had been to Heishan's territory and found that Heishan did not kill innocent people indiscriminately and was a good demon. Therefore, the ghosts and monsters of Heishan were tacitly ignored by the Xuanmen who were afraid of Heishan.

This is also the reason why the tree demon wants to be protected by Black Mountain. Black Mountain is powerful, and the older generation of Xuanmen do not want to provoke him. Those young people are not strong enough, and the tree demon can kill them easily without any fear.

Li Muyang looked at the tree demon who had transformed into a dead tree to practice cultivation, thought about it, and felt that he could find something for him to do.

After taking back his mental strength, Li Muyang left his own territory and walked towards the human territory.

Heishan seldom enters human territory and does not like to have any interactions with humans. Some ghosts who had previously taken refuge with him did not know this. After a trip to the human world, they brought some human things to him as gifts. Heishan did not even look at them, but let them take the human things away.

It was also because of that time that his subordinates tacitly agreed not to talk about human affairs in front of him, and human things would not appear in front of Heishan.

This also led to the fact that when Li Muyang accepted the Black Mountain memories, he knew very little about the memories of the human world, and had no idea what era the human world was currently in.

In the story about Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio that he had read, very little was written about life on earth. Li Muyang could only guess that it should have been the Ming Dynasty. After all, the place name Jinhua seemed to have only existed during the Ming Dynasty.

Li Muyang didn't care about this. He thought he would know after going to the human world. However, after entering the human realm, he communicated with the trees there and found that he might have come to a world of an imaginary dynasty.

But on second thought, there wouldn't be so many monsters and demons in normal dynasties. It's normal to have fictional dynasties. After all, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is just a world derived from strange stories.

After thinking about it, Li Muyang decided not to wear clothes that conform to current clothing when entering the human territory, he just didn't plan to dress too conspicuously.

When Li Muyang went to the human world, he changed back to his original appearance. He even took a mirror to observe his face.

In the previous world, his identity was the fairy other half of Prince Changqin. When he was not angry, his face looked very kind and it was easy for him to let others relax their vigilance against him.

However, having inherited the power of the Black Mountain Demon in this life, Li Muyang always felt that his face carried an evil aura, and looked quite intimidating when he had no expression on his face.

Li Muyang pulled the corners of his mouth at himself in the mirror and made a joking face. As a result, the person in the mirror smiled like a villain's evil smile, full of evil spirit.

Li Muyang instantly put away his smile, put away the mirror expressionlessly, and walked towards the human town.

Since his appearance looks intimidating, he might as well just be a cool and handsome guy.

It was already late at night when Li Muyang arrived at the human territory. He did not come here to visit the human night market, but to look for the female ghosts in Lanruo Temple.

The human night is also the time when ghosts and monsters are active. Before Li Muyang even entered the town, he met no less than three ghosts who were out looking for food.

Li Muyang put away his aura of a great demon. Those three idiots came to cause trouble for him, but they were beaten to death by him.

The evil and murderous aura of those ghosts was too strong. Once they saw that they had taken many lives, they would just kill them.

From the plots he had seen, Li Muyang specifically looked for ghosts in some remote places, and he actually found a few sexy ghosts in Lanruo Temple.

Li Muyang did not appear in front of them, but while they were absorbing yang energy, he left a mark deep in their souls.

To ensure that the tree demon can get the "surprise" he gives it when absorbing the yang energy.
