MTL - I’m the Hero, His Brother, Wear It Quickly-Chapter 253 Weird 【15】
'King Dog Dan' is quite powerful in ghosts. After being enlightened by the so-called ghost king, he recovered his memory and wandered around to find powerful ghosts for the ghost king to bring back as his subordinates, as well as collect the essence and blood of living people and hand them over to the ghost king. .
The ghost king seems to have been recruiting all kinds of powerful ghosts to form forces under his command, because it controls the means of awakening the ghosts' memories, making the ghosts willing to bow their heads.
The Ghost King strictly forbids the ghosts under his command to appear sane outside, and to pretend to be the same as ordinary ghosts.
It's just that the 'King Dog Dan' ignored the ghost king's ban at the juncture of life and death, exposed his nature hysterically, and was captured alive by Yuan Jia.
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and impending success in each other's eyes.
They must find the ghost king who can awaken the ghosts' memories!
It's a pity that 'Wang Dog Dan' is only a small **** under the Ghost King's command, and he has no access to the core secrets. He doesn't even know how many powerful ghosts there are under the Ghost King's command, let alone know the whereabouts of the Ghost King.
Seeing that the 'Wang Dog Dan' was useless, Yuan Jia waved his hand to solve it until only a cloud of pure Yin Qi remained.
After the death of 'Wang Dog Dan', a white jade jar the size of a wine jar was left on the spot. Xue Yuanjing picked it up curiously, and as soon as he opened it, a **** smell came from the mouth of the bottle: "This is What is it?"
Looking down at the mouth of the altar, Xue Yuanjing remembered the content of the confession made by the 'King Dog Dan' just now - the ghost king asked me to help it collect blood from the hearts of living people.
"Could it be that these are all the blood in the hearts of living people?" Xue Yuanjing was shocked and angry.
It was just a fluttering sentence from 'Wang Gou Dan' before, how can it be intuitive to see the blood in the hearts and minds of most of the living people now?
Yuan Jia also looked at the blood in the jar and sighed, "I'm afraid that nearly 10,000 people have died. I'm afraid this ghost is secretly slaughtering villagers outside the city."
Humans have very little essence and blood, not to mention the essence and blood of the heart. A big living person can only take out a small amount of essence and blood from the heart of the little finger, and taking out the essence and blood of the heart will undoubtedly die. After accumulating so much of the jar, how many people have to die to accumulate so much?
This ghost 'King Dog Dan' killed more people after regaining his sanity than by instinct.
Xue Yuanjing said bitterly: "It's all the ghost king who is behind the scenes!"
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing, as the leaders of the Night Watch Division, could never ignore this kind of thing. They contacted the local government to investigate the situation in the nearby villages.
There are ghost masters in the city, and if the ghosts want to kill so many people silently, they can only attack the villages outside the city.
Sure enough, the government sent people to investigate, and more than a dozen villages outside the city had been massacred. Because all the people in the dozen or so villages were dead, and no one reported the case at all, it was Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing who sent people to investigate the situation, and only then did they know that these villages were destroyed.
In order not to cause panic, it is naturally impossible to announce that these villagers were slaughtered by ghosts. The government announced that it was the nearby bandits who slaughtered innocent villagers. Reassure the anxious people.
Xue Yuanjing didn't hide this matter, and everything was reported to Xingye and Heiye, the night watchman, and told them about the ghost king.
Xingye and Heiye were sitting at the headquarters of the Night Watch Division. They were shocked when they received the communication from Xue Yuanjing: "How could such a terrifying ghost appear?! It's impossible not to have any clues."
The Night Watch united with the imperial court to investigate this terrifying ghost king with a mysterious origin.

Lan family.
Lan Yu took family leave from the Night Watch and went back to Lan's house.
He rarely goes back to Lan's house, and likes to roam outside most of the time. Even if he was arrested by Yuan Jia that time and Lan Baoer came to redeem him personally, he did not go back to Lan's house with Lan Baoer.
But today is his sister Lan Baoer's birthday, and he must be coming back to celebrate her sister's birthday.
As the only daughter of the head of the family, Lan Baoer has a distinguished status. Even if her spiritual sense is low, her birthday is not a full birthday. She still holds a birthday banquet in the main house of the Lan family.
Lan Yu avoided her own father and sneaked into the backyard to find Lan Baoer: "Sister, happy birthday." He gave the gift he had carefully prepared.
Lan Baoer was very happy to see Lan Yu, took the gift and took her younger brother to her side and asked with concern: "Ayu, how are you doing in the Night Watch after I leave? Did the Xue brothers embarrass you? You hide in the evening and go away, did you do it..."
Lan Yu felt that her elder sister was very nagging, but she enjoyed the caring nagging very much. He patiently waited for Lan Baoer to finish talking before answering with a smile: "Sister, I'm fine, I won't provoke the two of the Xue family. Who dares not to give me face? Xue Yuanjing either stays in the file room every day or gets rid of ghosts, and his weird big brother also follows him every step of the way, and he has no time to embarrass me, and I even hide from them..."
After answering Lan Baoer's concerns, Lan Yu told her a few interesting things he had encountered in his daily life, until he made people laugh, he didn't remember: "Sister, you are Shou Xing Gong, you should prepare Ready, I won't disturb you."
Lan Yu went to the front yard reluctantly, and was then caught by his own father to greet the guests.
Although he doesn't like to do things to receive guests, this is his sister's birthday banquet. No matter how much he doesn't like to do it, he must do it flawlessly, so as not to embarrass his sister.
This birthday banquet was very lively. In addition to the old friends of the Lan family, there were also some guests who did not receive invitations but gave generous gifts, and were also let in by Lan Yu's father.
Fortunately, the Lan family had long anticipated this situation, and there would not be an embarrassing situation of not enough seats for the banquet and not enough dishes.
At the beginning of the birthday feast, Lan Baoer dressed up to attend, and the whole person seemed to be glowing.
The guests looked at the beautiful Lan Baoer and couldn't move their eyes. At this moment, a cold snort sounded. Everyone was suddenly woken up. On the table next to Lan Baoer, the carved eyes glowed with scarlet light, staring gloomily at the crowd.
Everyone was so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lan Baoer again, so as not to offend.
Everyone knows that the Lan family has been in seclusion all the time, and the representative of dealing with external affairs is this puppet who is attached to the Lan family's spiritual sense.
The puppet man was dissatisfied with them, in fact, the Lan family behind him was dissatisfied with them staring at his daughter.
Along with Lan's strong reputation was his reputation for doting on his daughter.

When Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing were solving the ghost on their mission, they were shocked to find that the ghost was also a ghost whose memories were awakened by the ghost king.
After getting rid of this ghost, a small jade bottle containing blood essence was also harvested.
The jade bottle was not big, and it was filled with the blood of the heart. To say the least, dozens of living people who were taken from the blood of the heart died.
The more you experience, the more you know, and naturally the more you hate this ghost king who uses the blood and essence of living people to cultivate.
Xue Yuanjing said to Yuan Jia: "This ghost king must be eliminated. I don't plan to take other tasks of eliminating ghosts for the time being. Let's investigate the ghost king."
As for why the description of 'hunting the ghost king' is not used, it can only be said that the small goals must be achieved one by one, and the ghost king must be found first.
Xue Yuanjing always thought about his parents who had not regained his memories of his life.
Yuan Jia also hopes that Father Xue and Mother Xue can restore their memories and sanity as soon as possible.
Yuan Jia quickly reached a consensus with Xue Yuanjing: "Okay, let's go together."
Yuan Jia used the traces of the yin qi of the ghosts under the ghost king to find the places they once visited.
Xue Yuanjing was in charge of keeping in touch with the imperial court and the night watchman. With the intelligence support of the imperial court and the Night Watch Division, Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing's investigation went smoothly. They found out a lot of ghosts that were awakened by the ghost king in their past lives. Yuan Jia believed that sooner or later they would find out. The whereabouts of the ghost king.
Yuan Jia and Xue Yuanjing went around and found out that the next stop was Wuxi City.
Wuxi City, where the Xue family once lived.
Since Xue Yuanjing joined the Night's Watch, Yuan Jia, in order to accompany him to protect him, has never returned, except that he returned to the original site of Xuejiazhuang outside Wuxi City in order to complete the rules.
Yuan Jia felt a bit of emotion in his heart when he revisited the old place.
Xue Yuanjing took Yuan Jia to the Xue Mansion he had built in the city before, and said as he walked, "After I joined the Night Watch, the house was not sold. It was bought by my father, but unfortunately... Fortunately, I took revenge back then. After that, I bought the mansion in time."
After a few years, Yuan Jia heard from Xue Yuanjing again about 'revenge that year'.
He tentatively asked, "When did you buy the mansion back? You still regard it as Xue's residence. Dad said that Xuejiazhuang is the real Xuejiazhuang."
Xue Yuanjing knew that Yuan Jia didn't want to know when he bought the mansion, but wanted to know when he took revenge.
It's not easy for the eldest brother to hold back that he hasn't asked for all these years.
Xue Yuanjing pretended not to hear his ramblings, and answered bluntly, "I bought it when I was twenty-five years old. I still owe a lot of debt to buy it..."
The two brothers chatted and laughed, and soon arrived at the Xue residence.
Xue Yuanjing reached out and knocked on the door. An old man opened a crack. He looked at Xue Yuanjing in the crack of the door. Naturally, he couldn't recognize him. The mansion? Knock what, the Xue mansion does not accept guests."
Xue Yuanjing did not recognize who the old concierge was: "What's the matter? Who are you? Where's Uncle Zhang?"
The old concierge shuddered and said embarrassingly, "This... Uncle Zhang went home, and the housekeeper hired me to be the concierge. The villain is also named Zhang..."
