Puppetry, the path of transcending spirituality, belongs to one of the left paths of Qimen. The puppet series is also broad and profound, roughly divided into wooden puppets made of trees and spirit flowers, mechanical puppets made by Luban machinery, human puppets that directly control living people, spirit puppets with the core of all spirits, and the most vicious corpse puppets that infiltrate people and refine corpses.

Among the several types of puppets, it is difficult to say which one is stronger or weaker, but it is generally recognized that the most cruel and vicious is the corpse puppet. Even if the puppet who controls the living person only controls the spiritual mind, brainwashes it and becomes its own use, and if the caster dies, the puppet of the controlled person will also regain his sanity.

However, the production of corpse golems is different, it is necessary to select the shell of the soul trapped in the body, and then refine the ordinary soul into a powerful ghost, so that it can never enter reincarnation and seal it in the corpse golem.

This practice is cruel and vicious, contrary to the way of heaven, and the caster himself will be corroded by the corpse qi, and in the long run, the whole face and body will become a person who is not a ghost or a ghost.

At this time, Wan Ning was under the supervision of the man in blue and walked towards the depths of the jungle outside the canyon. He looked at the man's cheek, but there was still a human appearance, it didn't look too heavily corroded by corpse qi, presumably they had a set of special cultivation corpse control methods.

"Alright, you just wait outside, remember to keep an eye on the gate, inform me of any situation, and if something goes wrong, I'll ask you. Alright, this fellow Daoist of the Aoki Sect, let's go. ”

A quarter of an hour passed, and everyone came to a proposed wooden village, which looked quite primitive, and many of the chiseled wooden wedges had left new marks, as if they had only been built for a short time, which was more appropriate than the time period that the groom had said before, which had only recently emerged.

Arriving at the destination, the man in blue shouted at the minions to spread out and stand guard, then turned his head and smiled at Wan Ning, unexpectedly walked to the cave behind the wooden village, and made an inviting gesture to Wan Ning.

"It's easy to say," although with his powerful divine thoughts, Wan Ning vaguely sensed that there was a dangerous aura hidden in the cave, but when he arrived at the enemy's lair, he couldn't help himself, so he could only hum at will, and let the man in blue be at the mercy of him.

"Then let's go, fellow Daoists are troublesome to follow, there are many forks in the cave, don't get lost," the man in blue smiled strangely, and took the lead in walking into the cave and stepping into the darkness, Wan Ning could only follow hard, he looked back habitually, but at some point, the iron corpse puppet summoned by the man in blue had already walked behind him silently, and the strong smell of blood seeped out from the steel helmet, and the tall body had already blocked Wanning's circuit.

Indeed, as the man in blue said, the terrain of this cave is complicated, and only at the fork in the road will a slightly shiny torch be inserted to guide the direction. After Wanning silently passed the eighth fork in the road, the two finally came to a grotto.

Different from the narrow path, this grotto appears very wide, the walls are full of torches, Wan Ning roughly counts, about thirty or forty, the grotto is bright and wide, there is a wooden table in the open space in the center, there are bottles and cans scattered on it, behind the wooden table stands a huge brown coffin, the four corners are covered with chains of spirit runes, tightly fastened to the ground with blood to depict the formation, and the whole coffin exudes an evil and cold black corpse gas from the inside out, which makes people feel creepy, even Wan Ning can't help frowning when he sees this scene。

"This is the real Mountain King, but since it is now in the special period of cultivation, it is inconvenient to see people in his true body, so please forgive me. ”

The man in blue walked up to the brown coffin, gently snapped the lid of the coffin, and introduced to Wan Ning.

"This fellow Daoist, coming from afar, there is nothing good to entertain in the cold house, if you don't dislike it, please sit down. ”

Suddenly, a hoarse and dry man's voice came from inside the coffin, its piercing ears like bone fragments rubbing against each other, and as if the magic sound was pouring into the ears, as if it did not seem to come from the population, but from the hell of Hades. Out of politeness and prudence, Wan Ning couldn't bear to cover his ears with his hands, he barely pulled out a smile, and said to the person in the coffin: "You don't have to sit down, Wan Mou is still in a hurry to go to Chang'an Mansion, and the seniors have something to order." ”

"Hmm, Chang'an Mansion... You take this first. ”

The person in the coffin pondered for a while, and said noncommittally, just as Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a crack was opened in the brown coffin, and a skinny black arm stretched out, Wan Ning was startled, used his spiritual power, and retreated quickly, but the magic hand just waved lightly, and extremely strong spiritual pressure burst out from the coffin.

"Condensation... Ning Yuan Realm... And that's not all... It's the mid-stage corpse king of the Ning Yuan Realm!"

Although Wan Ning's physical strength has reached the consummation of the Innate Realm, he is only one step away from the Ning Yuan Realm, but the cultivation of the people in the coffin is not only in the early stage of the Ning Yuan Realm. Rao was he tried his best, but he was also suppressed and unable to move, and finally the young man's feet shook and he almost knelt down.

The situation was completely out of control, he originally thought that no matter how strong the other party was, after all, it was also a group of bandits, and it was already very terrifying to have the early stage of the Ning Yuan Realm spiritual cultivation to sit in the formation, even if he went deep into the enemy's nest, even if he couldn't beat the early stage of the Ning Yuan Realm spiritual cultivation, it shouldn't be a big problem to run away, but Wan Ning didn't expect that the other party's head turned out to be the existence of the middle stage of the Ning Yuan Realm, this is not something that Wan Ning can handle.

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but in fact, it was only for a moment, and a disgusting pustule came out of the black demon's hand, and then exploded with a "snap", and a black worm flew out and shot towards the boy.

Wan Ning wanted to hide, but his limbs and bones had been suppressed by the terrifying spiritual pressure, and he couldn't move, and he could only watch with his eyes as the flying insects burrowed through his chest and then disappeared.

"What have you done to me. ”

The spiritual pressure of the person in the coffin finally dissipated, Wan Ningfu stroked his chest, and probed up and down with his divine thoughts, but was shocked to find that there was no flying insect in his body, only the red mark on his chest, which confirmed that it was not an illusion just now.

"That refining insect Gu has been integrated into the blood, and it can't be detected with divine thoughts, but don't panic, that gadget won't be able to kill you for the time being, as long as Daoyou does things for me, I will naturally give you the antidote." ”

The man in the coffin withdrew his dry magic hand, laughed strangely, and said.

"Then what do you want me to do for you? ”

Wan Ning's expression was gloomy, and he hated this feeling of being manipulated by others.

"Since you have taken the Worm Refining Gu, then it doesn't hurt for me to tell you the ins and outs of the whole thing, in fact, I and the seniors in the coffin are not so-called bandits and bandits, we are from the Corpse Yin Sect of the Qi Kingdom, and we came to the Zhao Kingdom to arrest the traitors. ”

The man in blue, who had been watching from the side for a long time, stood up and said.

"It turned out to be a member of the Corpse Yin Sect, no wonder. ”

Wan Ning pondered, he was not familiar with the so-called Corpse Yin Sect, but he only knew that there was such a sect in the territory of Qi State, and almost all the exercises he practiced were related to corpses.

"There are traitors in the Corpse Yin Sect who need us to kill, a few months ago we received news that the traitors appeared in the Chang'an Mansion of the Zhao State, but this matter is very important, and my predecessors and I can only smuggle into the Zhao Kingdom from the border. However, Chang'an Mansion is one of the great mansions of Zhao State, and the inventory in and out of the city is extremely strict, presumably the thief knows this, so he hides here. In desperation, we can only gather some ronin, temporarily become bandits and bandits on this traffic artery leading to Chang'an Mansion, and wait and see what happens. ”

The man in blue said.

"If you have a mission, why take the risk of killing passers-by. ”

Wan Ning said coldly.

"My corpse puppet and the cultivation of my predecessors need dead people as nourishment, and there are no mass graves nearby, so we can only kill the living to replenish them, I told you that we are from the Corpse Yin Sect, right? ”

The man in blue shook his shoulders, as if surprised by Wan Ning's fuss.

"Okay, I promise in this matter, I will go to Chang'an Mansion to find you Corpse Yin Sect traitors, but you have to promise me that you will not hurt and kill passers-by during this time, and you will not harm the residents of Aoki Town. ”

Wan Ning thought about it for a while, and finally said, but still made a request.

"Of course you can, there are dozens of minions on this mountain, enough for me and my seniors to use for a month, but we can only give you a month, if there is no secret medicine to dissolve the insect refining Gu within a month, you will die of poison. ”

The man in blue smiled, but his eyes were extremely vicious and vicious in his kind face.

"I didn't expect those ronins to just want to eat with you, but I didn't expect that I would become your meal. ”

Wan Ning sighed and said, but he didn't have much sympathy for them. After all, these people are willing to go up to the mountains to be bandits, and almost all of them have a history of blood on their hands, these scum live in the world, even if there are no corpse Yin sect members gathered, they will cause trouble and kill innocent civilians.
