Volume 5: The Living Puppet Nation (19)

Leaving aside the fact that the living puppet council will make the supernatural world go crazy for the time being, at least the field team of the General Office in front of them is so shocked that it can't wait for two more brains to understand this matter - intelligent life forms need to be supported by souls, even puppets are no exception, and being able to make a puppet jump around out of thin air is like telling humans that their ancestors are not apes but dolphins, which are things that can subvert the three views.

Even Lin Yingkong, who specialized in soul magic, couldn't help but secretly lean over and study the three souls and seven spirits of this person when Fei Rong and the others secretly stunned a villager from Venerable Puppet Village, but as soon as he turned around, he found that the minister who was supposed to be sitting quietly and meditating on the side was gone!

"What about the minister?" Lin Yingkong casually stopped Zhu Mengtian, who was planning to make a sword on the villagers, and asked.

Zhu Mengtian, who was stopped, was very depressed, "Assistant Lin, do you ask me?" "The person who usually follows the minister like a conjoined baby seems to be you, right?"

As soon as Lin Yingkong heard him say this, he knew that he didn't know, and after a slight smile at him with the corner of his mouth, he went out to find someone, leaving Zhu Mengtian to laugh creepily by him - it's not that he can't understand the minister, why is he laughing so terrible? !

As a result, after walking around the house, Lin Yingkong, who returned to the same place, still didn't see the figure of his minister, and E Jingbai, who was working on Derpy's experiment, caught a glimpse of him, who was usually smiling, frowning at this time, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, stood up and said, "Assistant Lin, you didn't find the minister?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Lin Yingkong responded succinctly, but a dark color slowly seeped out of a pair of black pupils.

Feng Rong is definitely not the kind of person who will disappear by himself during the mission, and his sudden departure can only mean that he has found some clues and needs to investigate in person, but ......

Lin Yingkong knew that since entering the Venerable Puppet Village, Feng Rong had been suppressing a sense of anxiety that was disturbed by uneasy premonitions, he had done a lot of homework before, and he hoped that the minister would not bring the sense of detachment from him before he came out of this mission, as long as he was there, he would always guard his ...... But after all the preparations, Lin Yingkong didn't expect him to be negligent for a while, Feng Rong didn't say anything, he directly left his assistant at work and partner on field tasks, and didn't know what to do alone!

- Since Lin Yingkong became his assistant, Feng Rong has never tried to leave him like this!

And when Lin Yingkong was brewing a storm, Feng Rong was in the place where they had come at noon-Fengshentai.

He came here alone, so slowly, calmly, step by step in front of the black and red temple, without any hindrance.

At this time, dusk had arrived, and the slanting sun dragged its orange tail downward, dyeing the entire temple with great brilliance, as if the owner of the altar was still stationed in it, looking at his people as a god. But this place has long since lost its owner, and after the sun sets, all the glorious and gorgeous coats will be torn to shreds, leaving only a man in a deep coat with wide sleeves with his back to everyone, facing the independence of the shrine, he stands like a saint who is the most devout god waiting for him, no matter how thousand years or hundreds of years unmoved, waiting for the faith in his heart, but...... But his back was lonely, full of hope and despair, as if waiting steadfastly, waiting for an agreement that would never be promised.

Feng Rong stopped near the Fengshen platform, and just stood and watched Kong Ling's back, until the sun set in the west put away its psychedelic light, and Kong Ling slowly relaxed his straight spine as if he had completed a mission that he had to do every day, and turned to look at the uninvited guests behind him.

There are several steps in front of the temple, and the two of them stand above and below the steps one high and one low, and the sealing is in a posture of being looked down, but there is no uneasiness to meet the other party's condensed and scrutinizing gaze, and when he speaks, his voice is low, and there are birds chirping around, as if he was startled, "The divine servant who led people to the Zunzun Puppet Country, is it you?"

He asked very naturally and straightforwardly, in a flat and straightforward tone as if he was just asking the other party what he had eaten tonight, Kong Ling looked at him for a long time through the daylight that had not yet dissipated, and there was no special emotion when answering, "Yes and what?"

Feng Rong understood that since he introduced them into the Venerable Puppet Village, Kong Ling no longer had the mentality to hide it, and he was not surprised when he heard the words, but said, "You have been staying here?"

"I'm not going anywhere," Kong Ling straightened his spine that had just loosened a little, and his feet remained unmoving, like a tree rooted here, "I only belong to this place." ”

Feng Rong said, "I thought you were only loyal to the Son of God. ”

"But the Son of God only belongs to this land," Kong Ling lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze was both nostalgic and resentful, "he gave everything to this land. "He is not unhated by the people who once lived here, and even in the end he is willing to die calmly for them, but he still belongs to the Son of God, and he can only belong to this vast land with the Son of God.

"So you're guarding this place for him, starting with the demise of the Puppet Kingdom?"

"It is he who I will keepβ€”and as long as the Son of God remains, the kingdom of the Honored Puppet will live forever. His voice is very clear, with a sense of openness and ethereal like the turning of the empty valley, but there is a sense of brokenness in his eyes that has been ruthlessly drawn by the long years, if it is not so, I am afraid that no one would believe that such a person who looks no more than 20 years old has lived here for a thousand years, just for ...... Guarding the empty altar behind him.

Feng Rong didn't say anything about his stubbornness, and changed the subject: "The people here...... He made it?"

He used the word "do", and Kong Ling was not surprised, but he raised his eyebrows, and his face full of classical beauty was a little gloomy by the twilight, "No, he has never done these things." ”

As if he couldn't hear the coldness in his words, Feng Rong asked again: "So what are you?" and "these things", what's the difference?

Kong Ling paused this time, and then actually smiled hastily, his smile was full of ridicule and self-deprecation, "Yes, I am the same as these things...... Like them, he was favored by the Son of God, but he was not by his side when he needed it most!" Even though he set foot in the kingdom of the Emperor in one fell swoop, the regret of loss has never tormented him for a moment in the millennium!

Feng Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, "The entire Venerable Puppet Village...... Or is there not a living person in the country of honorable couples?"

"People?" Kong Ling tilted his head slightly, "Like the Son of God, a person with a heart and red blood?" His adjectives were actually a little weird, but Feng Rong still nodded, and Kong Ling's smile that was so sharp that it seemed that even his face would be punctured slowly faded, and he said, "No," his gaze was in a trance for a moment, "The Son of God said that he would turn me into a real person, but he didn't do it." ”

Feng Rong said: "He's dead?"

"He's dead," Sora said, "but he'll come back." ”

"Eat it alive, ......eat it alive," Feng Rong repeated in his suddenly sharp gaze the ending of the Son of God, "How do you know that he will come back?"

Kong Ling was silent for a while, and then showed a smile, but that smile didn't look like a smile at all, it was full of the dark and cold atmosphere of the night, "You noticed it, from the time you came to this place, that sense of resonance." ”

Feng Rong's eyebrows moved, "What is that?" What is the sense of threat and resonance that you can't feel even in front of the lords of all walks of life?

"That's the Son of God," said Kongling, a gleam flashing in his eyes, a joy chasing a lifelong faith, frighteningly fanatical, "That's the Son of God calling you." ”

"Why did you summon me?" Feng Rong asked, "You...... Or is it him, what does he want from me?"

Kong Ling said: "Get, what do you have that is equal to one-ten-thousandth of the Son of God? The Son of God has taken a fancy to you, why do you have such an expression?" This seems to be defensive, but also calm and disdainful and unpanicked, as if everything is in the palm of his fist.

"Maybe I'm not blessed with such an honor," Feng Rong said calmly, "Is it true that the Son of God is not dead? he has been in retreat because he is seriously injured, and he needs something to recover?"

He said a few questions in a row, but it sounded like he was saying a declarative sentence, and Kongling's brows subconsciously leaned slightly towards the middle, "The Son of God is eternal." He used the same word he had used to describe the kingdom of the puppets.

Feng Rong ignored this and stared at him intently for a while, "The thing that the Divine Son wants is very special, so it hasn't been recovered until now?There is something in me that he must get, what is it?spiritual power, or soul?In addition, you have never left this place, and I don't think that the outer barrier will let people in casually, why do you know about my existence?" Even if he is the head of the Spiritual Law Enforcement Department, but as a newly rising force, the Spiritual Security Bureau cannot be very famous in such a hidden place, not to mention that the Zun Puppet Village is no longer so simple as hiding in the world, I'm afraid that Kong Ling doesn't even know what the Spiritual Security Bureau is. Feng Rong speculated as he spoke, and finally shook his head, "No, you can't know, and you can't be so coincidental and deliberately waiting for me to come, so who told you that I would come?"

Kong Ling didn't answer, "I don't think you need to know these things. ”

The non-negative answer has already shown everything, Feng Rong filtered all kinds of clues in his mind, and faintly had some clues, but he needed a few more evidence to verify, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask, and suddenly said: "Where is the Son of God?"

Kong Ling's expression suddenly became vigilant, "What do you want to do?"

Feng Rong looked at the Fengshen platform behind him, his hands in his trouser pockets, and he even looked very calm, "Didn't he want to get something, I sent it to the door, does Mr. Kong Ling also want to refuse?"

Kong Ling seemed to react, his chin raised slightly, with a pride that seemed to be indulged by someone without scruples, as if his god was still smiling and staring at him behind him, giving him the confidence to despise everything without reservation, "Of course I won't refuse, but do you think you can defeat Miko?"

Feng Rong was noncommittal, "In your eyes, your Divine Son is naturally invincible. But, in his opinion, he died in the end at the hands of a man who was nothing more than an ant to him.

The potential meaning of the seal was self-evident, and Kong Ling's gaze condensed for a moment.
