The empty cicada faction is on the majestic high mountain in the west, and its mountain name is the empty cicada mountain, and the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the name of the mountain also responds to the scenery.

Su Xian went up the mountain with Mu Shuliang, but as soon as he settled down, almost everyone on the mountain knew that Mu Shuliang had brought a man and a woman back. Mu Shuliang rarely goes out of the mountain, and rarely brings people back, for a while, there are a lot of speculations about Mu Shuliang and Su Xian, even if Su Xian is staying in the house, he can also hear a lot.

But these are not the issues she cares about, she doesn't care about the opinions of others, she only cares about what Mu Shuliang said before.

"What exactly are you talking about?" Su Xian carefully tidied up Xiao Chu's clothes, the puppet's face was still Chu Qingjiu's face, there may be many people in the world who have not seen Chu Qingjiu, but after meeting, they can't guess that it is Chu Qingjiu, I'm afraid there are not many. So she bought a bronze mask on the road to wear for Xiao Chu, and she didn't worry that he would be recognized.

Mu Shuliang was outside Su Xian's house, and when he saw that Su Xian had almost cleaned up, he said: "I can't explain this matter clearly, but if you go with me to find someone to see, you may be able to know." ”

Su Xian chuckled and said, "Could it be that after seeing it, this puppet can come back to life?" ”

Mu Shuliang shook his head and said, "Puppets can't be compared to living people, but since you promised to come, girl, don't you still have some expectations in your heart?" ”

Su Xian didn't say anything, she did have some faint expectations in her heart, but what she was looking forward to, even she couldn't tell herself, she had taken this puppet for a whole year, almost inseparable, if there was really any secret on this puppet's body, she really wanted to know.

"If the girl is cleaned up, let's go find Uncle Mei to have a look." Mu Shuliang said again.

Su Xian nodded and walked out of the room with him.

The empty cicada faction is very large, there is a cave on the snow mountain, the entire empty cicada faction is surrounded by mountains, the eyes are full of white, and there is still falling snow in the air, Su Xian is wearing a thin red dress, but he seems to be not afraid of the cold, and follows behind Mu Shuliang with a slow step.

In order to help Mu Shuliang deal with the cloud beast, her cultivation was temporarily lost at this time, Mu Shuliang was very clear, but even if she lost her cultivation, she was still able to be comfortable in such a severe cold, but Mu Shuliang did not expect it.

Although Mu Shuliang was shocked in his heart, he didn't ask too much, and the two of them walked through the square where the disciples were cultivating together, and soon arrived in front of an attic.

This attic is obviously different from the other buildings of the Empty Cicada Sect, it seems to be built of special materials, the whole building is dark and spacious, and the door is wide open, like a giant beast with fangs, which does not fit the style of this Empty Cicada Sect's dignified and clean place.

Su Xian didn't say a word, and led Xiao Chu and Mu Shuliang into the building together.

The building is very bright, and it is very spacious, and there is a jewel every few steps on the four walls, and the pearl is released from the soft light, which illuminates the hall as if it were day.

In the center of the hall is a huge pool, the water in the pool is clear and transparent, look inside, the bottom of the pool is full of blades, Su Xian just casually glanced, and recognized a few treasures, all of which are rare and good things, but for some reason they all sank at the bottom of the pool. She was a little curious about this place, and when she looked at the other side of the pool, she saw a person. It was a woman, elegant and beautiful, with an outstanding appearance, dressed in a white robe, with slightly drooping eyes, without half of the worldly atmosphere. The woman didn't know how old she was, although she was beautiful, she could see that she was not young, she heard the footsteps of Su Xian and others, and looking back, a pair of sophisticated eyes were with Su Xian.

Su Xian stared at the man and paused.

The man looked at Su Xian for a long time, but he didn't speak, and then his eyes fell on the puppet beside Su Xian.

"Immortals?" The man muttered, as if surprised.

Su Xian felt as if the people of the Empty Cicada Sect could see the immortal soul on Xiao Chu's body, but only he couldn't see it, he only felt very strange.

Mu Shuliang stepped forward and introduced the two to each other: "Uncle Mei, this is Miss Su Xiansu, I came back safely this time, thanks to her saving my life on the road." He then said to Su Xian: "This is my Uncle Mei Shuangmeng of the Empty Cicada Sect, who is in charge of this Sharp Pavilion and casts blades for the disciples of the Empty Cicada Sect, and most of the blades of the disciples of the Empty Cicada Sect are from the hands of Uncle Mei. ”

"Mei Daochang." Su Xian followed, and Mei Shuangmeng nodded slightly, but she had already walked over. Her gaze has not moved away since she stared at Xiao Chu just now, as if she had seen some rare treasure, she kept staring, Mu Shuliang called her twice and she didn't respond, until a long time later, she sighed, and there was more surprise in her calm eyes: "This puppet, is it yours?" ”

"Not bad." Su Xian was anxious to know the result in her heart, but the people inside this door liked to play tricks, and she didn't say anything for a long time, so she opened her mouth and asked, "What is the matter with the immortal soul that Daoist Mei just said?" ”

Mei Shuangmeng finally took her eyes off Xiao Chu's body slightly, and turned to look at Su Xian: "Have you ever manipulated this puppet to fight with people?" ”

Su Xian hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

Since she got this puppet, she has been thinking about how to use the appearance of this puppet to expose Chu Qingjiu, for the aspect of fighting, she is enough alone, where does she need Xiao Chu to do it?

However, Mei Shuangmeng didn't know Su Xian's own cultivation, and now Su Xian's cultivation was temporarily lost, and it seemed that she was no different from an ordinary person, so she said: "You puppet, even if you are a master of the Qingyan Realm, I'm afraid you won't lose, you take him with you, just for self-defense." ”

Su Xian raised his eyebrows lightly when he heard this, and glanced at Mu Shuliang.

She knew that Mu Shuliang's true strength was the Qingyan Realm. Mu Shuliang is already the first person among the young disciples in the entire cultivation world, and the strength of this puppet is naturally good to be able to fight with Mu Shuliang.

However, there was no surprise on Su Xian's face, for her, it didn't matter if Xiao Chu could help her fight.

Mei Shuangmeng didn't know Su Xian's thoughts, and then said: "This puppet is extremely exquisite, it can be manipulated with forty-nine kinds of runes, and it is ever-changing, but I don't know who this puppet is refined?" ”

"Huh?" Su Xian glanced sideways slightly, and replied without hesitation, "I saved an old man, and the old man gave it to me before he died." ”

What Su Xian didn't say was that when she got the puppet, the puppet had no face, and that face was drawn on the paper by her by herself, and finally asked the old man to make it for Xiao Chu.

All of them came according to the appearance of Chu Qingjiu.

Su Xian's unconcealed answer made Mei Shuangmeng and Mu Shuliang stunned, but this answer didn't have any effect on them.

Mei Shuangmeng sighed faintly, shook her head and said, "It's a pity, to be able to make such a puppet, that person must be a peerless master." ”

Su Xian listened to her say such a big bunch of what she didn't have, and couldn't help but remind her loudly: "Daoist Mei, that immortal soul ......"

Hearing this, Mei Shuangmeng continued: "It's just that this puppet is made of something I don't know. "She was not young anymore, but now she looked around at the puppet in front of her like a child who had never seen much of the world, just looking at it was not enough, she also stretched out her hand to poke Xiao Chu's face, Su Xian felt pain when she saw it, and hurriedly pounced on it to protect Xiao Chu's face." Mei Daochang, this face is mine, this can't be touched. ”

Mei Shuangmeng's expression was a little strange when she heard this, but she really didn't touch that face again, and instead squeezed Xiao Chu's hand. The fingers of the hands are slender and the knuckles are distinct, and they are no different from real people to the touch, and they can't even see the appearance of a puppet, if it hadn't been standing still since it entered the door, and it hadn't even blinked its eyes, I'm afraid it would really be regarded as a human being.

Mei Shuangmeng looked at it for a while, was suddenly startled, and suddenly cried out.

On the side, Mu Shuliang knew that she must have noticed something, so he said, "Uncle Mei? ”

Mei Shuangmeng glanced at the puppet with a complicated expression, and her voice sank: "Most of the puppets are refined from rare materials, and they are pinched into human forms, and there are mechanical spells inside, so that they can follow the puppeteer's orders." When she said this, she couldn't help but sigh, and then said to Su Xian, "But you puppet is not made of these things." ”

"And what is it?" Su Xian didn't understand either.

Meishuang dreamed: "People." ”

"It's human." Su Xian said.

Mei Shuangmeng shook her head: "I said that this puppet is probably made by using a real person as a body in a forbidden method." ”

Just when Su Xian and Mu Shuliang were silent, Mei Shuangmeng finished her words in one breath and said: "I just heard my master say this method at the beginning, and it is taboo to use people to refine puppets. This method is extremely difficult, and that person must be a person who has just lost his breath and has a cultivation level that is not low. Using this method, one of his three souls and seven souls can be retained in this puppet body, but if this is the case, the person who has been refined into a puppet will have a missing soul and will never be reincarnated. ”

Mei Shuangmeng sighed, shook her head and said, "This method is a yin damage method, if it weren't for the person who was refined into a puppet to agree, this method wouldn't have worked." ”

Su Xian understood this time, but the more he understood, the more strange the feeling in his heart became: "You mean, Xiao Chu should have taken the initiative to agree to be trained as a puppet?" ”

"Yes." Mei Shuangmeng nodded.

Su Xian didn't respond, just looked at the puppet beside him silently.

She and Xiao Chu have been together for a whole year, and they have always treated the other party as a puppet refined by someone with heavenly treasures, who would have thought that he was once a living person.

This truth, even Su Xian was taken aback.

She didn't know what kind of person the real Xiao Chu was when he was alive, and she didn't know why he would rather never enter reincarnation, but also choose to be trained as a puppet, and stay in the world without a mind like this, but for some reason, she felt a little sad in her heart.

It was an inexplicable feeling.

"You said that the immortal soul is the soul left behind by Xiao Chu after he was refined into a puppet?" Su Xian gently grabbed Xiao Chu's hand and asked Mei Shuangmeng.

This is the most critical place, Mei Shuangmeng nodded hesitantly, and her voice sank a lot: "I am afraid that he was not a human before he died, but an immortal." ”
