Crazy criticism of villains: She is good at attracting hatred

Seeing Ye Youyu's exaggerated reaction, Monk Juehai's old face rarely turned red.

Even when he said it out loud, he felt that the number was a bit too exaggerated.

It was not until this moment that Ye Youyu began to realize something.

Although I don’t know what the quota for the Holy Spirit Hall was that Master and Monk Juehai discussed at the Ye family a year ago.

But judging from Monk Juehai's reaction at that time, it should be a very valuable thing.

No wonder they contacted Master only after a year. It must be because too many relics were stolen and they were so painful that they could not bear it anymore.

Qing Qianqiu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses first and asked.

"Master Juehai, where are the relics stored and how were they stolen?"

Juehai smiled bitterly, then pointed to the huge white tower in the center of the house.

"The relics are usually kept in the only stupa in the temple."

The two looked in the direction pointed by Monk Juehai, and only then could they see the huge white tower clearly.

The giant white tower has a milky white jade feel all over and is dozens of stories high, but it doesn't have a single window. It looks like an enclosed space inside.

Seeing this, Ye Youyu nodded and explained.

"Buddhist relics and important scriptures are usually stored in stupas."

Although Ye Youyu’s cultivation system is different from that of Buddhist monks, he still knows more about Buddhism than Qing Qianqiu.

However, Qing Qianqiu's attention was not on what Ye Youyu had just said. His eyes were fixed on the white giant tower, and then he took a breath.

"This stupa... is the Sky Crystal Stone that can imprison the law?!"

Seeing Qing Qianqiu's surprised expression, Monk Juehai smiled complacently.

"Yes, the entire stupa is built of giant pieces of sky-crystal stones."

Seeing Monk Juehai admit it, Qing Qianqiu couldn't help but be even more shocked.

Ye Youyu felt that the name of the Sky Crystal Stone was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Junior brother, what is the Sky-Binding Crystal?"

Qing Qianqiu is a person who loves to study. As soon as he entered the world of cultivation, he began to make up for the knowledge of the world of cultivation. That is why he was able to recognize the material of the stupa at a glance.

His expression was a little exaggerated, and he pointed at his neck and said to Ye Youyu.

"Brother, don't you remember that our sect's confinement ring is the one that is worn around the neck and can confine all of a person's magic power?"

After being reminded by Qing Qianqiu, Ye Youyu finally remembered that the captives from both the human and demon races were wearing that thing around their necks after being brought back.

"Are you saying that the material of this stupa is the same as that of the confinement ring?"

Qing Qianqiu nodded first, then shook his head.

"You can say that, but it's not entirely correct. The confinement ring actually only contains a small piece of Sky Crystal, which is about the size of an adult's thumb nail."

Ye Youyu was slightly surprised when he heard this.

"Such a small piece can make it impossible for a cultivator to mobilize his magic power. This magic-binding crystal is really amazing."

Qing Qianqiu nodded, then smiled bitterly.

"Brother, this thing is so expensive because its effect is so good. A piece the size of a fingernail costs half a piece of top-grade spirit stone."

When he heard the price, Ye Youyu was slightly stunned at first.

Then he seemed to react, his eyes widened, and he looked at the huge white tower in disbelief.

A fingernail-sized piece of stone costs half of a top-grade spirit stone, and the tower in front of us is made entirely of sky-locking crystal stones...

Ye Youyu hissed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Monk Juehai became a little strange.

No wonder this bald donkey could come up with 1,400 top-grade spirit stones a year ago.

These bald asses are too rich...

Don’t monks always talk about compassion?

Where do they get so much money?

Being stared at by Ye Youyu with strange eyes, Monk Juehai did not blush or feel his heart beat fast, and he pretended not to see Ye Youyu's eyes.

"Master Juehai, if this stupa is made entirely of the Sky-Bound Crystal Stone, then the people inside the stupa must be..."

Hearing Qing Qianqiu's words, Monk Juehai nodded in response.

"That's right. Once you enter the tower, even a powerful monk will not be able to mobilize even a trace of magic power."

Monk Juehai continued with a serious expression.

"Not only that, there is also a formation protecting the tower with extremely high pressure. If you enter the tower without unlocking the formation, even a powerful cultivator will be squeezed into a meat pie by the pressure from all directions the moment his mana is suppressed!"

Ye Youyu nodded slightly upon hearing this and continued to ask.

"Were the relics stolen while they were stored in the stupa?"

The bitter smile on Monk Juehai's face became even more intense.

"Yes, and it was stolen overnight!"

"We racked our brains but couldn't figure out how that person stole so many relics. Even many of the precious scriptures in the stupa were lost."

Qing Qianqiu observed the stupa for a while and asked in confusion.

"Is it normal for such an important place to be unguarded?"

Monk Juehai shook his head.

"As I just said, there is a very strong formation protecting the stupa. Without the consent of the high-level officials of the Great Brahma Sound Temple, it is impossible for the formation to stop working."

"Over the years, under the protection of the formation, the stupa has never been lost. I didn't expect that this time..."

Monk Juehai sighed deeply, feeling as if he had made a single misstep that would lead to eternal regret.

Qing Qianqiu and Ye Youyu looked at each other, and the former asked.

"Has anyone ever stopped the formation from working?"

Upon hearing this, Monk Juehai immediately shook his head.

"Impossible. If the formation stops working, even for just a moment, hundreds of deacons in our sect will be able to sense it."

The more Ye Youyu listened to what Monk Hai said, the more his brows furrowed.

"Hearing what you said, this incident is simply impossible to solve. Could it be that the person didn't leave any clues?"

Upon hearing this, Monk Juehai's face twitched.

He hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and speaking.

"There are clues. There is a fist-sized hole drilled in the northwest corner of the stupa."

Ye Youyu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Isn't this a good clue? The murderer must have stolen the relics and scriptures from this cave. After all, ordinary relics are not even the size of a fist!"

"There are so many methods in the world of cultivation. Whether it's shrinking one's own size, putting a spirit beast inside, or using magic power to control the relics inside to fly out through the hole, I can think of many ways."

But this time, it was not Monk Juehai who responded to Ye Youyu, but Qing Qianqiu.

He put his hand on Ye Youyu's shoulder and then shook his head.

"Brother, have you forgotten what Master Juehai said before? You can't use magic power inside the stupa. Even if you use magic power outside, it can only stay outside the stupa and cannot be transferred to the stupa."

“And no matter whether it’s a spirit beast or a thief himself, once they enter the stupa, their magic power will be instantly imprisoned and they will be crushed into a meat pie.”

Ye Youyu was slightly stunned, then asked as if he was not giving up.

"If the methods of the immortal world can't be used, then what about the methods of mortals, such as throwing a rope or a hook in and hooking the relic out."

Qing Qianqiu shook his head.

"The hole is too small, there is no room for maneuver, and the rope requirements are too high. Even if this stupid method is used, it would be a miracle if eight or nine pieces can be stolen in one night. But now there are 1,568 pieces missing!"

Ye Youyu couldn't help feeling discouraged when he heard this.

This won't work, and that won't work either.

He had originally wanted to resolve the matter gracefully before his master arrived.

Is it true that we can only rely on our Master to solve this problem?
