Chapter 121: Puppet Villa
"Exactly!" Chen Hanyu replied directly.
Regarding the investigation of the puppet technique of the Tang Sect, Chen Hanyu did not hide it, and he did not intend to hide it at all. After all, from the current point of view, Feng Suyin and them can be regarded as a united front with themselves and others. And she didn't say that she came with any ulterior secrets this time.
What others think, Chen Hanyu doesn't care, anyway, he thinks that Feng Suyin will not betray himself.
Bi Qianyi glanced at Chen Hanyu, nodded and said: "I see, this puppet technique of the Tang Sect has only revealed in the rivers and lakes in recent years, and it was unheard of before. ”
"What kind of secret technique is this puppet technique?" Lan Yiting asked out loud.
Bi Qianyi shook his head and said, "The old man has just said that even my Holy Sect is only under investigation for the emerging secret art of the Tang Sect. ”
"Then how do you know that the puppet technique is in the remote place you just mentioned?" Lan Yiting then asked.
Although Bi Qianyi's words did not clarify the relationship, they also hinted at the relationship between the puppet technique and the mysterious place. As righteous path disciples, Yang Xiaocheng and the others were inconvenient to talk directly with Feng Suyin and them. And Lan Yiting does not have this constraint, after all, he is a member of the court, and the court is facing the entire rivers and lakes, good and evil, and it is secondary.
Bi Qianyi looked at Lan Yiting, his eyes were slightly blind, and he said lightly: "The relationship between them, forgive the old man for not being able to say it directly." But Tangmen has another important place in Bishan, which is indeed true. He opened his eyes as he spoke, and continued, "Have you ever heard that there is a Supreme Elder in the Tang Sect who has been in retreat for many years?"
"I've heard of this," Lan Yiting nodded and said, "The Taishang Elder of the Tang Sect, surnamed Ji Mingdi, nicknamed 'Golden-winged Demon Butterfly', is said to be a well-known martial arts master in the rivers and lakes more than thirty years ago. It's just that later, I don't know why, I have been in retreat in the Tang Gate and will not be born again. It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that he is practicing some kind of thaumaturgy, but no one knows what that thaumaturgy is. ”
"It's a puppet technique. Bi Qianyi said.
didn't answer, Lan Yiting should have guessed this result, but he didn't say anything at this time, and there was a brief silence in the scene.
"As you said, if we want to explore the art of puppetry, we should first go to that mysterious place. Chen Hanyu concluded.
"Exactly!" Bi Qianyi nodded vigorously.
"Master, what do you see?" Wei Fangfei stood beside Li Yanhui and asked instructively.
All along, Lee Yeon-hui seems to be indifferent. She is not like Chen Hanyu and others, as soon as she heard Bi Qianyi talk about the puppet technique, she had such a big reaction. Even when Lan Yiting asked Bi Qianyi just now, she just turned her back to everyone and didn't say a word, not even a word.
Although Li Yanhui is a master of the peerless realm, his heart is far higher than that of ordinary people, and his joy and anger are invisible. But after all, Wei Fangfei is an apprentice who has followed him for many years, and he always feels that Li Yanhui seems to be a little wrong today.
"Follow them!" Li Yanhui said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Yang Xiaocheng's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Master Li!"
"That's it!" Li Yanhui only responded lightly.
Yang Xiaocheng's face sank, obviously extremely unhappy. He had the pride of being a righteous person in his bones, and he always felt that it was a shame to act with people who were evil.
Wei Fangfei glanced at Yang Xiaocheng and sighed secretly in his heart. He is a disciple led by Li Yanhui, and he admires this master to the extreme, and he does not want to disobey the master's will. Now that the master said that he wanted to act with Feng Suyin and the three of them, although he was unwilling in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
Several people cautiously walked out of the formation and began to slowly walk in the other direction. This road is not the same as before, although there is not a single pedestrian to be seen, but the road is full of flowers and plants, but it seems that no one has ever passed, and it is completely different from the wide stone road leading to the gate of Tangmen.
A few people performed light skills, trying not to leave traces in the green grass. All of them are top masters, and the eight first-class catchers before have already been assigned tasks and assigned to various fields on the periphery of the Tang Sect, but they haven't been able to come with them.
After walking dozens of miles, several people came to a mountainous area. The environment here is not quite the same as on the road I came from, the vegetation has become a little sparse, and many of the flowers that should have bloomed in this season have already shown signs of decay. And this situation became more obvious the further you went, until the whole mountain area even became a little desolate, with only a few weeds growing on the roadside on the barren land, as if you were on the edge of the desert.
Along the way, everyone was speechless, but the faces of Yang Xiaocheng and the others became more and more ugly. In this situation, any righteous path disciple would think that they were in the hands of the three of them. It's just that they thought like this in their hearts, but they didn't say anything on their lips, just because they were very puzzled why Li Yanhui, who was the head of the Huashan Wild Thunder Sect, who was famous in the righteous path, seemed to be unaware of the strangeness along the way.
After walking a few more miles, they came to a small valley, the valley was not deep, and from this end there seemed to be more trees than on the road just now.
Chen Hanyu walked in front, glanced at the other end of the valley, turned to Li Yanhui and the others and said: "I don't know what the situation is ahead, it just so happens that we are in a hurry, so it is better for everyone to rest here for a while, and I will go to the front to explore the way." ”
"I'll go with you. Zhen Yingying immediately responded.
"I'm going too. Feng Suyin also said.
Chen Hanyu frowned: "I'll just go alone, you all stay here." After speaking, he looked at Li Yanhui, probably wanting to ask her to help say something.
"Okay, let's rest here for a while. Li Yanhui nodded, agreeing to Chen Hanyu's proposal.
Chen Hanyu bowed, moved his feet, and performed light skills, and his body flew directly over the three-zhang long valley and fell to the flat ground opposite. He didn't stop, his body flickered a few times and went to a place that everyone couldn't see.
Then, Chen Hanyu slowly slowed down.
"Alas~" Chen Hanyu shook his head and sighed.
After all, he is a college student who has just entered college and a pure engineering student, and Chen Hanyu will inevitably have some headaches in dealing with emotional problems.
Perhaps it is a common problem of many modern college students, he feels that he does not know the difference between love and pure friendship.
After standing for a moment, Chen Hanyu smiled bitterly again, ready to put aside this question first and think about it later.
It doesn't matter if you run away or don't dare to face it, after all, it's not that time yet, what's the use of worrying about it?
And at this moment, Chen Hanyu suddenly sighed softly, and it seemed that someone was walking towards this side.
Who will come here?
With his mind racing, Chen Hanyu's feet moved, and his body quickly disappeared in place.
"The sun is out~hey!Go up the mountain and chop wood~hey!"
The sound drifted in the distance, as if it came from the foot of the mountain. Chen Hanyu was suspicious in his heart, and he used light skills to run in that direction for a distance, and suddenly there was a burst of openness in front of him. I saw the village under the mountain.
It turned out that there was a path up the mountain, and it should be the villagers under the mountain who went up the mountain to cut wood.
No, this hour is not far from dusk, and it should be a day of chopping firewood and preparing to go down the mountain to go home and cook.
A black line flashed on Chen Hanyu's face, the people who came down the mountain, singing the song of going up the mountain?
However, Chen Hanyu did not waste this opportunity, his feet moved, and chased in the direction where the voice came.
As expected, on the way down the mountain, an old woodcutter with dark skin, a rickety waist, and a white cloth shirt was carrying a bundle of wood on his back, singing a mountain song, and walking down the mountain.
Chen Hanyu's figure flashed, and he walked around to the old man from the side: "Old man, ......"
"Oops~"
Lao Qiao was taken aback at first, looked at it, and saw that it was a young man standing in front of him, but he didn't show much surprise: "Oh~ It's a son!"
Chen Hanyu was surprised in his heart, but he didn't expect this old man to see a stranger in him, and he seemed to be accustomed to it.
Without waiting for Chen Hanyu to ask, the old man glanced at Chen Hanyu up and down, and his face seemed to show doubts: "Huh...... This son, which family are you a disciple of the Tang Sect?"
Listening to Lao Qiao's inquiry, Chen Hanyu understood. The village at the foot of Bishan must have been patronized by the people of the Tang Sect many times, and looking at it like this, it seems that they have a good relationship with the ordinary people and the people of the Tang Sect. Therefore, when the people in the village see strangers, they are not surprised. Even this old man, who he didn't know, also subconsciously regarded himself as a disciple of the Tang Sect.
"Oh! The old man misunderstood, he was not from the Tang Sect, but from the Six Gates. Chen Hanyu explained.
"Oh, I'll just say it!" the old man smiled, "I mean that your clothes are different from those of the four Tang families." ”
Chen Hanyu smiled: "The old man often sees Tang Sect disciples?"
"Often? Not really. Lao Qiao shook his head, "The Tang Sect will probably send some disciples to our village every year. It is usually a gift of some materials, and occasionally some young people with good physique will be selected to make them disciples of the Tang Sect. If someone from this family becomes a disciple of the Tang Sect, it is the blessing of that family, so the children in this village began to practice martial arts at a young age, just so that they could be selected by the Tang Sect when the next time the Tang Sect sent someone to select a disciple, it would be very glorious. ”
After the old man said, his eyes seemed to light up a little. Chen Hanyu could see that these villagers at the foot of Bishan must have great reverence for the Tang Sect, which is very rare in the sphere of influence of a non-righteous sect.
"Uh...... That, old man, ......" Chen Hanyu saw that the old man seemed to be about to continue, and hurriedly interrupted him: "Before I came here, I heard that there are also ...... in the southwest area of Tangmen."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the old man's face changed suddenly, and he immediately waved his hand at him and said, "Eh, eh...... Young man, that place is not to be visited. ”
"Why?" asked Chen Hanyu.
"You don't know...... On top of this Bishan, twenty or thirty miles to the west, there is a puppet villa. It's gloomy all day long, and no one dares to approach it. The old man said.
"Puppet Villa?" Chen Hanyu raised his eyebrows, pretending to be very puzzled, "Isn't the Bishan area the territory of the Tang Sect?
"Well...... I don't know. The old man shook his head, "It seems that the puppet villa belongs to the Tang Sect!"
Seeing that the old Qiao couldn't say why, Chen Hanyu didn't ask again, and the old Qiao saw that he didn't speak, and said, "I'll go first!"
When the old man walked away, Chen Hanyu shook his head and turned around and walked in the direction he came.
But what he didn't know was that when the old man walked a long distance, until he almost saw the gate of the village, he suddenly stopped, and then glanced behind him.
"Alas...... It's another young man who doesn't know the height of the sky......" Lao Qiao shook his head and sighed.
Chen Hanyu ran all the way, and soon saw the edge of the small valley where he came.
And along the way, Chen Hanyu's mind was not idle, he recalled the conversation with the old man just now.
"There must be something wrong with that person!" Chen Hanyu thought secretly in his heart.
By this time, there were a total of nine people in their industry, and their identities and status were not ordinary, and there were even older generation masters such as Li Yanhui and Bi Qianyi. But none of them knew that there was a place called Puppet Mountain Villa on this Bishan, and that old Qiao was just a mountain villager, even if he had some dealings with the people of the Tang Sect, he shouldn't know so many secrets.
Chen Hanyu carefully recalled the situation when he saw that person at that time. He didn't seem to feel the breath of true qi on the other party's body, nor did he notice any signs of martial arts on the other party. It stands to reason that in his realm, there are very few masters who can conceal his perception, and if Lao Qiao is really a peerless master, why should he introduce himself into the villa, he can take it directly?
Puzzled, Chen Hanyu returned to the other side of the valley. As soon as Wei Fangfei and the others saw Chen Hanyu coming back, they quickly gathered over here.
Zhen Yingying looked disgusted: "Why have you been there for so long......"
"I met an old man over there and asked some questions. Chen Hanyu knew that they must be worried about themselves, so he couldn't help but say apologetically: "It's been a long time for everyone to wait." ”
But I heard Feng Suyin snort over there: "If you don't come back, they will say that I arrested you." ”
Chen Hanyu smiled awkwardly, knowing that what Feng Suyin said was angry. Yang Xiaocheng, where are they such unreasonable people?
Lan Yiting walked over: "Brother Chen, looking at you like this, you should have asked something." ”
Chen Hanyu nodded: "That old Qiao said that twenty or thirty miles to the west from here, there is a place called Puppet Villa." ”
"Puppet Villa?" Wei Fangfei frowned, "What is that place?"
Lan Yiting thought for a while: "Listening to this name, could it be the place where the Tang Sect used to refine puppets?"
"I think so. Chen Hanyu nodded in agreement.
"Then let's go to the puppet villa and take a look. Yang Xiaocheng said immediately.
