Puppetry, in fact, is a branch of alchemy, which was widely spread in ancient times, when the immortals would refine some puppets as their attendants, and their disciples were all dedicated to cultivation.

Most of those puppets are exquisitely crafted, such as heavenly workmanship, and the shape is beautiful, like a fairy in the world. It's just that this kind of technique, flashy and unrealistic, slowly disappeared later, and evolved into a puppet technique that can be cultivated to be comparable to a monk and do combat and killing. It's just that this kind of puppet technique, now in the Cangwu Continent, has also been annihilated, and the only time Gu Yan saw it was in the underground palace of the Meridian Valley, the twelve golden-armored bronze people.

If you want to refine a puppet, the most important thing is the soul stone placed on the puppet's body, and the materials for refining the soul stone, whether it is in the Guixu Sea or in the Cangwu Continent, have long been annihilated. And this Duanmu Zi can actually carry two puppets equivalent to the middle stage of the Yudan, it seems that on Zhu Zi Island, there must be a secret method for refining soul stones!

At this time, the two puppets had already flown up from behind Duanmu Zi, each of them was two feet tall, and quickly rushed into the fire cloud bee swarm, countless fire cloud bees devoured their bodies, and these two puppets were unconscious, four big hands like pu fans, quickly grabbed those fire cloud bees, kept grabbing, their **, extremely strong, the fire cloud bees were crushed into powder as soon as they were caught. In a few moments, all the red clouds were cleared out by them. The broken fire cloud bee buzzed and flew into the distance, but Duanmu Zi obviously didn't allow them to leave, and with a flick of her wrist, the black light curtain that covered the sky swept like a sweep. All the fire cloud bees were wrapped in it at once, and with a flick of Duanmu Zi's fingers, countless murderous qi suddenly gathered towards the center, and streams of green smoke rose up. All the fire cloud bees were killed in it, and nothing was left.

Gu Yan's heart couldn't help but darken, this Duanmu Zi was on the same formation. It doesn't seem to be below itself. It's just that her methods against the enemy seem to be somewhat familiar......

Only Han Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he didn't know it, and whispered: "Three thousand shijie, ants are greedy, Amitabha!" ”

Duanmu Zi dusted her hands gently, and the two puppets had been put away by her. I don't know where it's hidden. Seeing the look of surprise on Gu Yan's face, she smiled with satisfaction and said, "Ahead is the Purple Spider Forest, Han Xu, your King Kong does not move." Can you reveal it? ”

Han Xuan was not polite, he took a step forward, saluted Duanmu Zihe, and then stretched out a hand flat.

Duanmu Zi snorted, took out three bodhi seeds the size of a dragon's eye from his bag, exuding a pungent fragrance, and threw them into his hands.

Hanxu bowed down again and said, "Thank you for your generosity!" Turning around, suddenly his figure flashed, and he flew forward like lightning.

Hanxu stood there. Just like a wooden stake, tall and thin, he suddenly rushed forward, and his movements were so fast, and then he saw that in front of him, countless purple flames had risen rapidly into the sky.

Duanmu Zi's body moved. Flying forward, Gu Yan followed unhurriedly, quickly turned a few corners, and when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Dozens of zhang in front of you, is a huge woodland, countless purple trees, its momentum is towering, full of thirty or fifty zhang high, rushing towards the top of the head. And on each giant tree, there was a trace of purple flames around it, which surprised Gu Yan greatly.

Among the five elements, wood and fire cannot grow together, which is a natural principle, but here, the two are incomparably harmonious.

But when she looked closely, she was puzzled, and it turned out that the ones surrounding the giant tree were not real flames, but purple spiders. These spiders are different from ordinary spiders, they have countless long feet on their bodies, and each foot is burning with a trace of flames, and those giant trees, surrounded by this silk of flames, actually stand tenaciously and are not scorched by these flames.

Yun Luo said: "This is the Purple Spider Forest, the purple spider in the forest is an extremely strange kind of demon beast under this volcano. This kind of purple spider, the life span is extremely long, up to thousands of years, each purple spider, are associated with a green cloud tree, when the wood first grows, it will be accompanied by a purple spider egg at the root, as the green cloud tree grows, the purple spider will also grow, and when the giant tree finally withers, the purple spider will also die, and both are entrusted to the dust at the same time. ”

Gu Yan said: "This purple spider seems to be born with an ability, and it can actually erupt flames on its own in its body?" ”

Duanmu Zi, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "This kind of purple spider, in their bodies, will give birth to a kind of Yuan Dan on their own, and after accumulating for thousands of years, they will emit flames on their own, with an extremely strong yin poisonous gas, and accumulate here to form a miasma, this kind of poisonous gas can only be restrained by Qingyunmu, so the purple spider and Qingyunmu, this wood and a beast, are born together, and the two cannot be separated from each other." ”

Gu Yan realized something, and said with a smile: "Cloud Hall Master, is this going to take the Yuan Dan in the Purple Spider's body?" ”

Yun Luo said: "The Yuan Dan in the body of this purple spider, if it is integrated into hundreds, it will be strung together, and it will be extremely haode as a prayer bead." However, the yin qi in this is really heavy, and ordinary people may not be able to bear it. This time, Duanmu Sister took its Yuan Dan to present a congratulatory gift for the island owner for a thousand years of enlightenment. ”

Gu Yan realized, it seemed that the Lord of Zhu Zi Island seemed to have reached a certain big day, so that her disciples used their own means to find congratulatory gifts, and it was precisely because of this that Duanmu Zi would come alone, and there were no other senior sisters to help.

At this time, Han Xu's figure had already rushed into the Purple Spider Forest, and countless flames seemed to have life, rushing towards his body on their own. Thousands of fiery snakes wrapped him around him at the same time, from the inside to the outside, like a big cocoon, countless tiny sparks exploded at the same time, and a trace of purple electric sparks began to sound in the air.

Gu Yan couldn't help but be frightened, with her strength, if she didn't have the protection of the five innate fire spirits, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to pass this purple spider forest.

And at this moment, Hanxu really showed a different strength. He folded his hands, stood still with his feet in a T-step, and the nine white dots on his head shone at the same time. Behind him, a golden portrait appeared, and the portrait was dressed like a void. He is dressed in a robe called a "robe", which is inlaid with countless precious stones, and shines brightly. Firmly protected his whole body, and in Hanxu's mouth, he kept chanting, and from his mouth, it seemed that an invisible telekinesis was emitted. With every word that was uttered, a purple spider fell from the sky.

And with the fall of the purple spider. The green cloud wood attached to it also withered rapidly.

Duanmu Zi said in a low voice: "Although these monks are loud in their mouths, their Vajra does not move the Dharma Body, but they really have some ability. ”

Gu Yan was thinking about the methods of these Buddhist cultivators. However, it has something in common with the Vajra Gate among the nine major factions of Cangwu, in some places, is it possible that these two factions are also related?

On Han Xu's forehead, beads of sweat kept soaking out at this time, and the spell he chanted in his mouth seemed to be extremely difficult for him, the periphery of the Purple Spider Forest. Dozens of purple spiders had already been shaken down by him. And Duanmu Zi and Yun Luo flew quickly in the air, taking the fallen purple spiders one by one, and then Duanmu Zi took out a short blade that flashed with cold light, and cut its abdomen very skillfully. Then they took out its Yuan Dan, and the corpse was discarded by them.

As for the green cloud trees, in a short period of time, they turned yellowish and began to wither rapidly.

At this moment, suddenly, an extremely low roar came from the depths of the Purple Spider Forest.

With this roar, it seemed that all the purple spiders in the forest moved at the same time in an instant. Countless fiery serpents, unscrupulously flared in the air, like a monster with a thousand legs, waving its countless arms to provoke enemies who invaded its territory.

Han Xu's whole body was shocked, and the golden magic body behind him suddenly shattered, and then his figure shot out like electricity, and said loudly: "There is a female spider here!" ”

As soon as he said these five words, Yun Luo and Duanmu Zi's faces all changed, and Yun Luo couldn't help but say: "The mother spider of the purple spider will only give birth once, and after giving birth to countless insect eggs, it will die, the purple spider forest here has not known how many thousand years have grown, the original female spider must have died a long time ago, how could it suddenly regenerate a female spider?" ”

Duanmu Zi said coldly: "This is the best." The eggs bred in the body of the female spider only need to be slightly refined, and it is naturally the Yuan Dan of Fire, compared to the Yuan Dan conceived in the body of the adult purple spider, the fire aura is more pure, this female spider is just beginning, we came here, it is the will of God, let me take this female spider, I can get together one thousand and eighty Yuan Dan, and offer the string of ten thousand spirit beads to my master! ”

She looked at Han Xuan and Gu Yan, and said, "Monk, if you help me capture that female spider, I will have five more Bodhi seeds and three Death Pills as gifts!" When Hanxu heard her words, his eyes suddenly lit up, "A word is a certainty!" ”

She turned to Gu Yan again and said, "I heard that your formation is unparalleled, what if you can help me trap that female spider and give you half a bottle of the blood of the Spirit?" ”

Gu Yan's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, sure enough, it was one of the three major shili in the South China Sea, with countless secrets, and she was able to open her mouth to give away such a rare thing as the blood of the spirit.

However, maybe she didn't know the magic of the blood of the mantis, after all, the blood of the mantis spirit was only mentioned in the ancient pill recipes passed down by Rong Lao.

Speaking of which, Gu Yan has accumulated so far, and some of the medicinal materials in those ancient pill prescriptions have actually been collected by her. And Rong Lao also proposed a lot of substitutes, after she successfully refined the Heavenly Pill, before impacting the Yuan Infant, she had to continue to open the furnace to refine the Void Pill, which was of great use to her comprehending the avenue of life and death when she was impacting the Infant, and refining this elixir, the blood of the spirit was a must. And the Yin and Netherworld Fire will also be of great help to this, which is also the reason why Gu Yan spared no effort to cure the Nine Yin Absolute Veins on Ge Ling's body.

She listened to Duanmu Zi's words, and said, "A promise of a thousand gold! Before she could finish speaking, she had already flown into the air, and as soon as her palm flipped over, five spirit flags fell quickly from the air, plunging heavily into the earth, stirring up countless smoke and dust.

Above the flag, the aura was dense, covering the entire purple spider forest, and on the ground, the aura was rising rapidly, and the Qingyun wood, which had already withered, seemed to be rejuvenated.

Duanmu Zi saw Gu Yan's movements, his face couldn't help but change, and he said in a low voice: "What you said is really good, this female formation's learning can be called the world!" ”

A cold light appeared in her eyes, and then her whole person turned into a purple light, and she rushed towards the forest quickly.

Behind her. I don't know when, two puppets comparable to the middle stage of the Yuedan monks have appeared silently, guarding Duanmu Zi's left and right, their wide bodies. Blocked all the countless fire snakes around him.

And Yun Luo also rushed into the forest at the same time as her, countless ribbons fluttering behind her and in her hands. At some point, a small golden net appeared, and she waved it, and with a copy of it, she swept away all the fiery snakes.

The two of them rushed forward quickly, and the flames shot from the purple spider couldn't help them. At this time, Hanxu had already come to all the Qingyun Trees quickly. Suddenly, his tongue bloomed with spring thunder, and he interrupted in the air and shouted: "Bah! ”

In mid-air, a huge Vajra Dharma Body suddenly appeared, and the image at this time became different from before. An angry-eyed King Kong with half an arm exposed, holding a treasure pestle, struck Xiangxia heavily in the air, with a strong wind, swept in, and countless Qingyun Wood seemed to be flattened by his blow.

As the purple spider was suppressed, taking advantage of this momentum, Yun Luo and Duanmu Zi had already rushed into the depths of the forest extremely quickly.

Gu Yan stood in the air. She crossed her hands flat, steadily controlling the five spirit flags, as for the eight Xuantian swords, she didn't take them out for the time being, this trip to the Great Wilderness, she just planned to be a reassuring spectator. It's just an occasional shot, and you must not show your edge again.

From where she was, she could directly see the depths of the dense forest, and she looked in turn in the direction where Duanmu Zi went, and couldn't help but gasp.

In the center of the Purple Spider Forest, there was an incomparably huge spider, the body of this spider was even larger than the Mirage Demon King she had subdued in the fire pool back then, countless feet were attached to its body, and its whole body showed a strange crimson color, and among the two red pupils, it seemed to be burning with flames. And beside this mother spider, there grows a towering giant tree, which is even taller than any giant tree in this forest, reaching straight to the sky. On the huge canopy, branches as thick as arms branch outward, showing a different kind of domineering.

Yun Luo exclaimed, "This is the Qingyun Giant Tree!" Unexpectedly, in this purple spider forest, a giant tree of green clouds actually grew, no wonder the mother spider reborn! ”

Duanmu Zi's face showed joy, and said: "The Qingyun Giant Tree is the mother body of all Qingyun Trees, and it contains extremely strong vitality and aura. Yunluo, everything in this forest, I don't fight with you, as long as this mother spider and the roots of the Qingyun Giant Tree! ”

Yun Luo smiled: "I want to listen to what I say!" She threw her hands in the air, and suddenly the little golden web spread out in the wind, and suddenly became obscured from the sky and the sun, and went towards the she-spider.

The mother spider's eyes showed effort, and she suddenly roared angrily, and actually crawled on the ground, and then opened her mouth, and a red and fiery flame rose into the sky.

Even Gu Yan, who was standing in the sky, felt a scorching breath rushing to his face at this time, among the five elements, fire can melt gold, but Yunluo's small golden net is full of elasticity, and it keeps rising along the fire, but it has never been broken through a gap, and the fire is firmly encased in it.

At this time, Duanmu Zi let out a low snort, and in her mouth, it seemed that a series of spells were quickly issued, and the two puppets behind her rushed straight down, their bodies, as if they could not avoid the fire, rushed straight into the flames, and suddenly there were countless sounds, like a piece of paulownia wood was thrown into the oil of fire, and it was roasted to burst and peel off.

Gu Yan clearly saw that on the bodies of the two puppets, layer by layer kept turning up, which also made her very curious in her heart, what material are these two puppets made of?

Immediately, Yun Luo's words revealed the answer, "Duanmu girl, if you can collect this cyan giant tree and use it to condense your two puppets, I am afraid that the power will be even higher!" ”

Duanmu Zi's face obviously also showed a look of pride, and said with a smile: "Yes, Qingyun Giant Tree, born with both wood and fire aura, which are compatible with each other, I will go back and ask the master to invite me to come out with five fires and condense them, these two puppets may really be able to advance to the late stage of the Jiedan, and achieve a bad body!" ”

Gu Yan's brows moved slightly, it turned out that in this world, there were really people who could refine a puppet equivalent to the late stage of the Yudan! Even the twelve gold-armored bronze people she saw in the dungeon were only equivalent to the middle stage of the Yudan. Speaking of which, according to Gu Yan's guess, the twelve bronze figures were just replicas of someone who painted gourds in the same way, and refined them according to the Purple Ink Demon Venerable back then, and the real ones have disappeared.

Speaking of which, she had also learned this secret art from Lin Jiaxiu, but after coming to Cangwu this time, she found that no one was good at this secret art in this Cangwu land. Perhaps after the Taiyi Patriarch learned this technique, in the past thousands of years, this secret technique has been annihilated. And today, in the South China Sea, Gu Yan once again saw someone who was good at puppetry.

It was just Gu Yan's change of mind, and the two puppets had already rushed into the sea of fire erupted by the mother spider, and the two of them waved their fists at the same time, bombarding the two eyes of the mother spider heavily.

The female spider has a huge body, does not work well, and only relies on flames to protect itself, but when it encounters these two fiery puppets, it is immediately at a disadvantage, it reluctantly moves its head, and at the same time, the tens of thousands of tentacles on its body have been raised at the same time, and one by one the fire snakes rolled into the air, delaying the speed of the fall of the two puppets.

Han Xuan didn't know when, he had come to the top of the head of the female spider, above his head, at this time a golden circle of light faintly appeared, he put his hands together, in the shape of a lotus, and held it in the air, a golden circle was held in his hand, and then he shouted: "Forbidden!" The golden circle flew into the air, quickly changing into countless golden rings that were large or small with each other, and fell quickly, trapping the tens of thousands of feet of the female spider at the same time.

Then Wandao Jinxia quickly sank under the ground, and the countless feet on the female spider's body were all nailed to the ground, unable to move a bit. And the fire snake it emitted in mid-air also suddenly converged, and the two puppets Xiangxia rushed forward, close to a few feet away from the mother spider.

At this time, the mother spider roared from her throat, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth hard, and a black hole suddenly appeared in the air, in which a crimson deep passage appeared, and then it seemed that a lotus flower bloomed, and suddenly countless strands flew out of its mouth, and the crimson filament was divided into countless bundles in the air, and the two puppets were tied up in a strong one at once.

Duanmu Zi's face showed complete joy at this time, and she laughed loudly, "This female spider actually gave birth to red fire silk on her body, which is interesting!" There will be a Fire Yuan Pill on it, and I will take it! ”

Gu Yan's brows also moved, this female spider was actually able to emit spider silk with fire aura, indicating that in its sea of qi, the fire Yuan Dan had been condensed, which was different from the Yuan Dan that gave birth to those purple spiders, but the Yuan Dan that really condensed the fire aura, and its aura was pure and long, far better than ordinary demon beasts. At this moment, Gu Yan couldn't help but feel moved by this Huo Yuan Dan. If she can use this Yuan Dan and put it into the Nine Peaks Ding, then for her ability to control the alchemy of the Ding, Cheng Dan's grasp can be increased by one more point.

The two puppets were tied up, Duanmu Zi laughed loudly, she flew down, her hands were raised, and countless cold rays flew up her sleeves.

Gu Yan's brows froze, "She actually knows how to refine needles?" ”

Since ancient times, men refining swords, women refining needles, but the sword cultivation is still alive, the art of flying needles has now been annihilated, I didn't expect that although the South China Sea is far away, it can save so many ancient secret techniques.

Countless silver needles fell like snow, and hundreds of cold rays quickly concentrated on one point, and then pierced the red threads.

The two seemed to be in an evenly matched competition, and the countless red threads in the female spider's mouth were all pierced by the silver needles issued by Duanmu Zi, endlessly.

In the end, the female spider seemed to be unable to hold on first, the red silk in its mouth seemed to have begun to gradually exhaust itself, Duanmu Zi let out a low sigh, and the ten fingers were raised into the air at the same time, and the tips of countless silver needles were concentrated at one point, and then they burst out quickly, and exploded quickly, like a fire tree silver flower, suddenly blooming, and the shackles on the two puppets were suddenly released. The subsequent silver needle integrates two beams in the air.

Two heavy cold rays, heavy Xiangxia shot, straight into the eyes of the mother spider, the entire forest, suddenly there was an earth-shattering scream! (To be continued)
