Beneath the clouds and mist, there is a barrenness.

On the flying sword, the girl pulled the hem of the young man's clothes and looked down.

"Second Senior Brother, where are we going?"

The young man who had always been a talkative man was silent for a long time before he said softly, "We are going to find a city." ”

A city that belongs only to Jinrong.

……

The girl's eyebrows are as slender and weak as willow leaves, but her eyes are as obsidian as stubborn and stubborn, and when she looks at people, she is black and white, as if she can't bear to deceive anything under her gaze.

However, every time I mentioned my parents, my eyes were slightly bent, as if I was crying, and I seemed to be laughing to hide the sadness that I couldn't hide because I was young.

Ink on the pen, the tip of the pen touched on the puppet.

The slender hand paused slightly, and the other hand holding the puppet unconsciously rubbed twice, as if recalling, as if thinking, and wrote again after a long time.

……

It had just rained heavily, and the bluestone pavement was still slightly damp, and the drizzle shrizzled the whole city like smoke and fog. But even that couldn't stop people's enthusiasm – candy sellers, ravioli-makers, and alley-walking vendors soon filled the streets.

The smell of the heat and the smell of food dissipated far away with the wind.

Everyone has a pleasant and satisfied smile on their faces, and they seem to be the happiest.

And the group of people who watched all this in the corner of the house were inexplicably chilled.

For no one but them noticed that the facial features of those people had been lost because of the rain and mist.

These are all fake!

All of them are made puppets!

"Are you from outside?"

A soft voice sounded from behind, and when I looked back, it was a woman.

Probably sensing that their gaze was too wary, the woman smiled and explained, "We all know each other here, and we couldn't be more welcome for you to be guests from outside." The weather is colder, and there are tea shops and restaurants where you can rest, so you can go there to rest. ”

The four of them looked at each other, but no one spoke, but finally Ning Minxiu came out and thanked her, and the woman left.

"Oh my God, just like the real thing, this kid is ...... too"

Qin Ze looked at the back and couldn't help muttering.

Lu Fan's face was also very heavy, thinking that when he just followed his master's instructions to look for the third junior brother, he just thought that he was hiding alone because of his heavy thoughts. But when he saw so many puppets made by Jinrong, he realized that this was the demon of Jinrong that they had never been aware of.

"These puppets are depicted and painted with the puppeteer's memories and emotions about them, and they can be said to be almost indistinguishable from real people. Lu Fan explained in a faint voice.

Liluo blinked slowly, only inexplicably feeling that the woman seemed to be a little familiar, but she looked like the proprietress of the tailor's shop.

As soon as the thought came to her, she laughed inwardly at when she was telling fortunes.

But the woman did go to a tailor's shop!

Liluo's complexion became a little ugly.

It was almost noon, the drizzle had stopped, the scorching sun was shining on the streets, and many vendors had closed their stalls and were ready to go home for lunch.

I don't know where in the city came the sound of a bell.

Everyone stopped, turned their heads, stared straight into the void, then put down what they were doing and walked methodically towards somewhere in the city.

"We followed. Lu Fan whispered.

They had tried it a little before, and found that the puppets here were completely unaware of the fact that they were puppets, and they did not reject them as foreigners, or even tell them...... The puppeteer himself.

It's as if this is really an ordinary town where people come and go without arousing the slightest suspicion.

"The senior brother is not good-looking at all, and if you go into the pile of puppets that even cost your facial features, you won't find out. But we, especially me, are in danger. ”

Qin Ze pursed his lips and said very seriously.

Without Qinghe's anger when he faced Qin Ze, the babyface was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Ze, "You say it again?"

It's like the first time I saw my brother in the Blue Pupil Glass Array, who completely let himself go.

So Qin Ze decisively closed his mouth.

The team was orderly, different from the previous greetings on the street, the whole team was quiet, no one spoke, just followed one by one.

They followed them until they reached the end of an alley, almost close to the city walls.

Then I saw a small courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence.

One by one, the puppets entered, and one by one came out of another. The people who came out were different from going in, as if they had been re-energized, walking back in twos and threes, still talking.

"Makeup. Qin Ze secretly took a closer look and compared the shape of his mouth.

But no, the facial features that had been spent before were erased with color again, and they looked completely indistinguishable from people.

Probably before her third senior brother was controlled by the demons, his painting was excellent.

She thought to herself.

It takes more time than you think. But they couldn't just go and arrest people in that yard. Because the immortal cultivators under the control of the inner demons cannot be awakened by force, they must untie the knot.

Moreover, when the immortal cultivator has been controlled to externalize the inner demons, then all the people in it need to be vigilant and not be devoured by the inner demons.

"You think these are not the scenes that the junior brother sees in the world. ”

"I remember that he was a child of the Ning family, and his parents were dead, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't have such a deep affection for the world. ”

"How could he have told you that he didn't have it?" Lu Fan replied coldly.

Qin Ze pursed his lips, but Ning Minxiu on the side looked at the surrounding scene, "I don't know where the city that Senior Brother Ning's heart demon has put out, how does it look like memories are mixed together?"

Yes, the bricks and tiles here are completely like the appearance of Zhongli's Imperial City, or maybe there are too few cities she passed through in Ningxu.

She groaned to herself.

"Who?!"

A cold voice came from the courtyard.

The four of them hurriedly silenced, looked at the puppets lined up in front and back, and all gathered their breaths and hid in the corner of the house next to them.

After a while, a man came out of the courtyard.

Not the masters of the sound they think they are.

Dressed in a monk's robe, he walked out slowly with his hands folded.

The corner of his mouth smiled and glanced at the crowd in line, probably not finding anything abnormal, and was about to walk back to the yard, but was suddenly pulled by the girl who rushed out from the side.

Those eyes were full of tears, looking at him with hope and sorrow.

"Master Minghui!"
