3. Chapter III
"What the hell is going on?" Not only Lu Shuang, but everyone else in the hall was also shocked, and the only one with the same face was Su Xian. Su Xian seemed to know that this would be the result, and immediately smiled and said to Na Chu: "Young Master Chu, I'm really sorry." ”
Chu Qingjiu didn't speak, he stared at Su Xian, and then looked at the others in the hall, holding his arm tightly with one hand, and his expression finally became unnatural.
The girls who came were all girls who had admired Chu Qingjiu for a long time, most of them were characters with heads and faces, at this time, everyone looked at Chu Qingjiu with doubts on their faces, this matter naturally could not be revealed at such a casual behalf, Chu Qingjiu was silent and did not speak, but Lu Shuang changed his color, stared at Chu Qingjiu for a long time in amazement, and finally said in a trembling voice: "You...... You're not Prince Chu? ”
Before Chu Qingjiu could respond, everyone else also reacted, and sure enough, someone immediately noticed that something was wrong, and there were more and more speculations around, Chu Qingjiu finally sighed and slowly put his hand down. His previous appearance of a gentleman disappeared in an instant, and he only said coldly to Su Xian: "Who are you, what do you know?" ”
He was covered with cold, although he had Chu Qingjiu's appearance, but he was like two people, Su Xian saw this situation, but she laughed, she walked around behind the puppet, and said in a low voice: "Four years ago, the Xuanyue Sect captured Chu Qingjiu, the son of the Chu family, to threaten the Chu family, and later Chu Qingjiu escaped from the hands of the Xuanyue Sect, but at that time, he was seriously injured and died not long ago. Her voice was low and obscure, as if she didn't want to mention this past, "Chu Qingjiu's friend sent him back to the Chu family, and the second master of the Chu family said that he would cure him, so that the friend could wait at ease." ”
"She kept waiting, but the person who waited for her to come back was not Chu Qingjiu." Su Xian looked at the person in front of him coldly, and said word by word, "The second master of the Chu family didn't save Chu Qingjiu at all, he died, and after he died, in order to prevent everyone from discovering the clues, and in order to take advantage of Chu Qingjiu's reputation outside, they let another person pretend to be Chu Qingjiu and live in his place." ”
"That person is you." Su Xian said lightly to Chu in front of him.
Chu Qingjiu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his face was pale, but he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
"Why do you know this?" Seeing that the matter could no longer be hidden, the rest of the people present kept asking, and Chu Qingjiu finally asked in a low voice.
Su Xian said lightly: "Because in the past two years, I have been investigating this matter. When I saw you from afar, I knew that you were not the real Chu Qingjiu. ”
"No one knows him better than I do."
Su Xian said.
"Chu Qingjiu" opened his eyes slightly, and said in a low voice: "You are the one who sent the seriously injured Chu Qingjiu back in the first place......"
Su Xian didn't respond to his words, hearing the words "Chu Qingjiu", everyone understood the truth of the matter, and for a while, everyone rushed up, wanting to ask the reason for the matter, seeing that the situation was out of control, "Chu Qingjiu" changed greatly, and he was no longer calm, and his body was fluttering, and he had already twisted up a trick, but in a moment, the figure disappeared in place. Everyone was not idle, seeing him disappear, they all showed their magic skills to search, and there was a mess in this Changshan Village in an instant, but in a moment, people chased the fake Chu Qingjiu, and the villa instantly became quiet.
Su Xian didn't chase anyone, she lowered her eyes, looked at the ground in front of her, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and after a while, she seemed to come back to her senses, and sighed softly.
A voice suddenly came from the side: "Aren't you going to chase people?" ”
Su Xian raised his eyes to look, but saw that the poor sour man who was going to exchange Lingxi beads for a puppet hadn't left yet, he was standing beside Su Xian, his face seemed to be concerned, Su Xian looked at him, he blinked and smiled, and said, "You made this puppet for this?" ”
"I planned for a year." At this time, the people also dispersed, and Su Xian was not as vigilant as Fang Cai, she sat casually next to her, playing with the fruits on the table, and her eyebrows seemed to be a little lonely, "The real Chu Qingjiu is my best friend." They killed him and took advantage of his identity, and they had to pay the price. ”
Exposing him in front of everyone so that he can no longer gain a foothold in this world is the price she paid them.
It's even more unbearable than losing his life, Su Xian has done so much, but that's just for it.
Su Xian smiled a little teasingly: "Speaking of which, thanks to those girls who like him, Chu Qingjiu must not have expected that in the end, it was those girls who exposed the fake for him." When she said this, she frowned slightly, and muttered with some dissatisfaction, "That guy was peeked at changing clothes back then, and he hugged other girls, it's really ......"
Su Xian couldn't say any more, so the man laughed, "So now, is the girl still willing to give me this puppet?" ”
Su Xian glanced at the man, but did not immediately agree, only asked in a low voice, "What's your name?" ”
The man said: "Mu Shuliang." ”
"What do you want this puppet for?" Su Xian asked.
Mu Shuliang looked at the motionless puppet and said, "Curious, there are many people in the world who can make puppets, but there are very few who are as lifelike as this puppet." ”
Su Xian stared at the puppet for a long time, and finally spread his hands at Mu Shuliang. Mu Shuliang looked at her with some hesitation, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Lingxi Bead is brought out." ”
Mu Shuliang's palm flipped upward, and a bead appeared in the palm of his hand. The bead was the size of a fist, the purple orb, the inner brilliance was circulating, and there were a few wisps of light swirling in it, although Su Xian had never seen the Lingxi Bead, but he also knew that it could have this kind of breath, and there was no doubt that it was not the Lingxi Bead. She took the bead from her hand, and then she took out a few more charms and came to the puppet.
"Xiao Chu was taken from someone else's hands, his face was made by me to make someone else look like Chu Qingjiu, I took him with me, just to expose the Chu family's affairs, now everyone knows that Chu Qingjiu is fake, and I don't need to take him anymore." The corners of Su Xian's lips curled slightly, and he turned back to Mu Shuliang and said, "If you want, take it away." ”
Mu Shuliang nodded and said, "I will definitely treat him well." ”
"Then I'll be relieved." Su Xian handed over a few charms to Mu Shuliang's hands, and then said, "If you use this on him, he will listen to you, and I don't bother to elaborate on the effect of each one, anyway, you go back and play by yourself." She looked casual, Mu Shuliang felt a little funny, but she didn't interrupt her, she explained a few more words, then her hands were empty, and finally gently poked the puppet's cheek with her fingertips, "Xiao Chu, I'm leaving." ”
Mu Shuliang looked at her as if she was reluctant, and couldn't help but say, "You believe me like this?" ”
Su Xian didn't look back and said: "The eldest disciple of the Empty Zen Sect, the head of the Eight Great Families, the eldest son of the Mu family, you are famous, I naturally believe you." ”
Mu Shuliang lowered his head and smiled as if ashamed: "It turns out that Miss Su knows me." ”
Su Xian didn't want to say more, and finally turned around and walked out of the lobby, "There will be a meeting later." ”
As she said this, the person had already walked out, and I didn't know how she moved, but in an instant, she had disappeared, Mu Shuliang stood in place, staring at the direction where she disappeared for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "It's also an interesting girl, isn't it?" His last question was addressed to the puppet beside him.
However, the puppet called Xiao Chu still lowered his head, lowered his eyes slightly, and did not respond in the slightest.
Mu Shuliang looked at the puppet with his cheeks raised, and a person said to the unconscious puppet: "Why do you have an immortal soul on you?" ”
"You're spirited, aren't you? Can you understand me? Mu Shuliang still asked spontaneously, but the puppet still ignored him, and he didn't even react at all.
Mu Shuliang tried for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that I thought wrong." He didn't try again, he just slapped the spirit talisman he had taken from Su Xian on the puppet's body, and when he saw that the puppet moved, he said, "Come with me." ”
The puppet moved, and really followed Mu Shuliang's steps to the outside of the house, and the two walked only a few steps, but the puppet suddenly stopped moving.
Mu Shuliang looked back, but saw that the puppet was looking down at something at his feet.
"Huh?" Mu Shuliang approached him, leaned over and picked up the thing, only to realize that it was a sword spike, and I don't know who fell here, the puppet stared at it, as if he saw some treasure, and even Mu Shuliang didn't listen to his orders. Mu Shuliang noticed something strange and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" ”
The puppet naturally didn't answer him, but just stared at the sword spike with his eyes, Mu Shuliang put the sword spike in front of the puppet for a long time, and suddenly said, "I'll take you to find the owner of the sword spike, okay?" ”
The puppet didn't speak, Mu Shuliang chuckled, took a step forward, looked back, and saw that the puppet had really followed.
He thought it was funny, so he walked forward again, and the puppet followed him step by step, more obedient than when he gave the order, and he said as he stepped forward: "Your name is Xiao Chu, isn't it?" This is the name that Miss Su Xian gave you? Who are you to make it? How did that man make you? ”
There are many puppeteers in this world, refining all kinds of special materials into their desired appearance, and then operating them to achieve their own goals. Most of the puppets are used to help people fight, and the more powerful the puppeteer, the more realistic and powerful the puppet will be, Mu Shuliang doesn't know how this puppet is made, but he has an immortal soul on his body, and he must not be an ordinary puppet.
Just when he was thinking like this, he had already left Changshanzhuang with the puppet, the villa was lively not long ago, but now it is all gone, there are still horseshoe prints at the door of the villa, the sky is gloomy and seems to be raining, Mu Shuliang looked up and smiled bitterly: "It was said to be sheltering from the rain, but it turned out that it was not avoided." ”
As he said this, a black sword glittered his cheek, and he turned sideways to avoid it, but another dark shadow was already in front of him. He hurriedly dodged, but there were quite a few people coming from the other side, but in a moment, a formation restrained his movements.
Mu Shuliang's expression finally calmed down, he looked at the dark and dreary dark clouds against the increasingly large shadow above his head, and said coldly: "I didn't expect you to release even the cloud beast in order to kill me." ”
"Without the Cloud Beast, how can I kill you?" On the corner of the eaves of Changshan Village, a man in black sat obliquely and smiled mockingly at Mu Shuliang.
Mu Shuliang was also smiling, and there was no fear in his expression: "In my current situation, why do you need to go to such trouble to kill me?" As he spoke, he pushed the puppet behind him, and he took a step forward and drew his sword.
The black mist above his head became thicker and thicker, rolling as if to devour the qi qi in front of him, and a huge black figure faintly appeared behind the clouds, Mu Shuliang narrowed his eyes slightly, and held the sword in his hand tightly, already prepared for the worst.
However, just as the two parties were confronting, a red shadow flickered in front of him, and Su Xian, who had already left, returned here for some reason.
"Miss Su?" Mu Shuliang was stunned.
Su Xian seemed to be in a hurry, she didn't respond to Mu Shuliang, but glanced behind him, and after making sure that the puppet behind him was intact, she threw an object to Mu Shuliang and said, "I regret it, Xiao Chu, I won't sell it, you can take it back after playing for a while." ”
Mu Shuliang took that thing, it was the Lingxi Bead he gave out earlier.
