Volume 5: The Living Puppet Nation (11)

Ding Youlan was scared enough, but when he pushed him like this, the ghost-faced man actually shook a little—snapped, and fell.

Everyone, the field team of the General Office: "......"

E Jingbai, who was holding Ding Youlan in his hand, looked at the ghost-faced man who had been motionless since he fell, "Puppet, why can't it move?"

“…… Doll?" Ding Youlan was stunned - but that didn't feel like it!

"It's like it's just a puppet. "Zhu Mengtian used his own treasure sword to pick up the ghost face, inside was a log pimple, and even the facial features were not painted with color, he couldn't help but poke the bare limb part of this armored puppet after falling, it is indeed lifeless, but the touch under the sword made Zhu Mengtian a little strange, and couldn't help but squat down to pull this thing that he didn't know what to do, but as soon as he got started, he understood the reason why Ding Youlan was so frightened, and shook his hand in disgust," Isn't this really made of human skin?"

"I'll see. Since Zhu Meng Tiandu has done it, it proves that this thing is not a threat, Di Bingqiao also leaned over to check it, and then said in surprise: "Human skin is not human skin, but it can be done to such a realistic level, and the skills of Zun Puppet Village really deserve its reputation!" If you are not prepared, it will be cold and greasy when you touch it, and even the soft touch of real flesh and blood is really terrifying, Ding Youlan will not be scared!

This puppet is different from the insect beasts in front of it, it is solid inside, and it is not stained with any poisonous powder and drugs, at first glance, I thought it was scary, but Lin Yingkong raised his foot and let it turn over, and he could see that the back of the puppet was connected to a thin thread, and the other end did not know where it led, and it was broken at this time.

Everyone saw that they had a score in their hearts, and they didn't say anything, they left the puppet and continued to walk forward, and after a few minutes, they removed the shadows of the grass and trees, and the village of the puppet in the night finally appeared in front of them.

At this time, there happened to be a wind blowing, the lantern hanging high at the entrance of the village swayed slightly, reflecting the figure of a man in a wide-sleeved robe under the lamp, he was dressed like some kind of sacrificial dress, the hem was painted with scripture-like characters to form a pattern, only with a delicate hollow wooden crown to gather half of the green silk, the rest of the soft spread on the shoulders, slender eyebrows and eyes and the outline of the handsome made him look handsome like a man who came out of an ancient painting, slender hand carrying a gauze wooden lantern depicting a landscape map, his face did not have much expression, the ancient village behind him was solemn, cold to see, and made the members of the field team of the General Office almost think that they had crossed。

"Please forgive me for the guests who have traveled from afar to come and have been inconsiderately entertained. The man who claimed to be empty heard slowly spoke, his voice as clear and solemn as a monk under the ancient Buddha's seat, as if he could make the evil thing ashamed of himself in front of him.

Di Bingqiao poked E Jingbai next to him - a living person or a puppet?

E Jingbai nodded affirmatively - a living person!

"......" So everyone in the field team of the General Office fell silent all of a sudden-they seem to have come here to punish demons and evils, how did they come out with someone who is more upright than them......

Feng Rong looked at him without a trace, and said lightly: "Uninvited, we are presumptuous, may I ask your Excellency ......?"

"With the grace of his father, Kong Ling is the current principal of the Zun Doll Village. He said in a calm tone.

Fei Rong's expression was subtle - such a young and good-looking village chief...... It's really strange how you look at it, and it doesn't match the impression given by the village chief at all.

Feng Rong's eyebrows moved slightly, "The old village chief ...... him"

"Already deceased. Kong Ling replied very naturally, and then said: "The guests must be tired after a day of walking, the humble house is simple, but it is okay to let you stay for a few days, if you don't mind, come with me." After saying that, before they could reply, Kong Ling had already turned and walked towards the village, the soft light cast by the gauze lantern, elongating his long-robed independent figure.

This so-called village chief of the Zun Puppet Village is really strange and very frank, the people on the field team of the General Office focused their eyes on the minister, Feng Rong didn't look at them, and directly followed the empty Ling into the village, his attitude was indifferent, as if he was fearless no matter what was ahead, Lin Yingkong liked him like this almost infatuated, and followed the footsteps without a trace of hesitation, and the others followed one after another, and Zhu Mengtian, who was walking at the end, seemed to throw a paper crane very casually, and it had fallen before it flew up, and he quietly picked up the paper crane and walked away。

After entering the village, the feeling of time and space inversion is even stronger, the same as Musheng Village is a building of stilted bamboo buildings, but the style is obviously too simple, there is no trace of modern traces along the way, not to mention the electricity and Internet, here is not as full of traces of puppet carving as Musheng Village, you can only see some wood covered with ancient oilcloth. There seems to be little entertainment here, people have already eaten dinner long before the sun sets, when they enter the village it is only past eight o'clock, most of the stilted bamboo buildings are already immersed in darkness, candlelight leaks from the houses of people who have not yet rested, and villagers dressed in ancient costumes come out, watching this group of outsiders with wary and strange eyes, wary of frightened cats.

This atmosphere is really weird, I wish Meng Tian and a few people to walk side by side in twos and threes so as not to be alone, fortunately, the empty house is in the depths of the village, it seems to be very remote, and as he walks, he left behind the eyes of those terrifying people, and a wooden building that is very different from those stilted bamboo buildings appeared in front of them coldly, and the house with simple appearance and gorgeous details with a strong sense of historical precipitation stood silently in the night.

This wooden building is indeed not small, but it seems that only Kong Ling lives alone, so quiet that even the slightest sound of footsteps echoes in the empty lobby, and after Kong Ling arranged their rooms, he said goodbye politely and detachedly, without giving them a little time to ask questions.

The starry sky is shining, the insects are chirping, and the wind is blowing with the fragrance of plants and trees, if it is not for being in a strange jungle village, it must be refreshing, Kong Ling very intimately arranged four side by side rooms for them, which are all antique furnishings, lit with bright candles, and each room is also thoughtfully placed with hot meals and two large bath buckets of water, obviously anticipating the time of their arrival.

Everyone went into the room and searched the carpet, and also tested those meals for drugs, and finally found no problems, Zhu Mengtian took a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely: "What kind of rhythm is this?

After a day of walking, she was hungry, and Fei Rong couldn't help but scoop up a bowl of soup to drink, smacking her mouth, and didn't find anything wrong, "Whatever, let's talk about it, it's not poisonous anyway." ”

Di Bingqiao nodded her forehead hatefully, "You foodie!"

Fei Rong handed her the soup that looked like it had just come out of the pot for a short time, "You don't drink it~?"

"......" Di Bingqiao's eyes twitched, "Drink!"

The rest: "......"

"I guess we won't do so many tricks if we kill them," Derpy felt hungry, "and there's an enchantment outside the village, so it's unlikely that we'll go out hunting." "Compressed biscuits or something have to be saved for all kinds of emergencies.

As far as the current situation is concerned, there is nothing special except for the enchantment outside, although Kong Ling behaves strangely, but the things that entertain them really can't find fault, and it is not the best policy to rashly investigate when they are not familiar with the situation in the Zun Puppet Village, and finally seal the clapper, "Since there is no problem, I will eat and take a bath first, and I will have a short meeting later." ”

The group immediately cheered, "Okay, Minister!"

After quickly taking a combat bath and eating, everyone gathered in the room that Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong had assigned to as usual, and analyzed the current situation, Kong Ling gave too few clues, and they couldn't catch a clue for a while, they were not in a hurry now, but Ding Youlan's side couldn't contact the outside This point is more worrying, and the big guy can only bring the walkie-talkie for short-distance communication with him at any time, and the communication effect in the enchantment has not been affected.

"I'm wondering if the story that Uncle Yori told us has some credibility," E Jingbai was the first to express his opinion, "Kong Ling's costume is a bit like a sacrificial costume, maybe he is the descendant of the god who destroyed the Zun Puppet Country and established the Zun Puppet Village." ”

"So?" Zhu Meng Tian looked at him, "Do you think that the divine servant may have obtained the inheritance of the Divine Son, and has any special abilities?" But I think that Kong Ling is no different from ordinary people. ”

"There are a lot of techniques to disguise cultivation...... Fei Rong tapped her chin with her fingers, "but I also think that Kong Ling doesn't have any spiritual power on him." ”

"There are some things that can be done without spiritual power," E Jingbai said, "Actually, I doubt that if the story is true, then whether that god son died back then." "Is it true that beings who are worshipped as gods can be killed by mortals so easily?

"If we don't die, wouldn't we have to have a god-killing drama too?" Derpy felt a toothache - if Miko was still there, then it was very likely that he would be the boss they were up to.

"Don't be in a hurry to make a judgment yet," Feng Rong didn't say anything, but said: "Let's go to sleep first, and then walk around the village when it is dawn, it would be best to talk to Kongling." Be vigilant tonight, except for Bingqiao and Rongzi, the other three groups take turns to keep vigil, and if there is any movement, the alarm will be sounded immediately, do you understand?"

"Got it!"

After the team members returned to their rooms, Lin Yingkong closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw Feng Rong sitting at the table and seemed to be distracted, he walked over and said with some puzzlement: "Why don't you go to explore this house first?"

Feng Rong frowned and said, "I have a bad premonition...... Let's rest first. "He was worried that everyone didn't have the strength to fight.
