"How old is he?" I asked Hui Ling.

Hui Ling said: "It's very old, very old. Maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. I don't know, and I don't think the people on the dust-free mountain don't know very well. ”

"But his life may be a little different from the life you understand it to be. His body is still there, and so is his soul. But there is no way for the body and soul to merge together. ”

Me: "......"

After talking for a long time, isn't this still dead?

Hui Ling said, "His body has not decayed, and his soul has not dissipated. This state is better than the state of all the dead people in the world. ”

"I guess he was able to do this because he learned a lot from that corpse."

"It's a pity that the corpse is mutilated, and he hasn't learned it all, so his body has become what it is now."

I was a little speechless: "Follow a corpse to learn immortals, and if you can learn well, there will be ghosts." ”

Hui Ling smiled: "Yes." ”

After we were silent for a while, I said to Hui Ling, "I just thought of something. ”

Hui Ling looked at me curiously: "What's the matter?" ”

I said to Hui Ling, "The corpse and the golden sutra came from the same place. Why are we approached by the Yin Puppet after cultivating the Golden Kui Sutra? ”

"Is there anything between the Yin Golem and the Golden Kui Sutra? Do they have anything to do with Dustless Mountain? ”

Hui Ling said: "The puppets are very mysterious, even I don't know where they come from. But I'm sure that not only did the Yin Golems find your house, but they also found Dustless Mountain. ”

I nodded.

I said to Hui Ling, "I heard some news before, saying that Dustless Mountain once caught a Yin Golem and was using it for research. ”

Hui Ling sneered: "This person is bragging, right?" With their strength, there is no way to catch the Yin Golem. ”

I was amazed and said, "Not really, right?" Are yin golems strong? I've killed a few of the puppets. ”

Hui Ling said: "The strength of the yin puppet is different. They can't just come to earth. Even if you come on the third day of the month, you have to pay a big price. ”

"And the more powerful the yin puppet, the greater the price to pay."

"Maybe they are trying to save their strength, so they find your puppets, they are all relatively weak."

Me: "......"

Okay, although this is a bit hurtful, it can be regarded as a solution to my confusion.

Hui Ling said, "I don't know how the strength of the Yin Puppet is divided. I roughly divided them into different grades according to their characteristics. ”

"I privately use gold, silver, copper, and iron to express it. The yin puppet you encounter should be iron-level. The lowest level is no different from ordinary cultivators. ”

"Iron-level puppets may be a little tougher, but they're not that hard to kill."

I sighed: "So, according to your rank, I am also iron-level." ”

Hui Ling nodded.

I asked faintly, "What level are you?" ”

Hui Ling coughed dryly: "I don't have the strength to fight with my wit." ”

It is estimated that Hui Ling also felt a little embarrassed by his strength, so he changed the topic and said: "Actually, the people on the Dustless Mountain must have been in contact with the Yin Puppet, and even fought many battles. ”

"The strength of those yin puppets is mostly at the bronze level."

I sighed: "So, the most powerful person in Dustless Mountain is only bronze-level?" ”

Hui Ling nodded.

I wondered, "In that case, how do you know that there are two levels of gold and silver, have you ever seen it?" ”

Hui Ling said: "I haven't seen it, but by probing other people's memories, I can surmise that there must be two more levels above the bronze level. Some people have seen such a powerful yin puppet before. ”

Hui Ling said it very mysteriously.

However, she is well-informed, and she is so confident, it is estimated that there are really two levels above the yin puppet.

Hui Ling said: "After these yin puppets arrive at the Dustless Mountain, they will often go on a killing spree. I don't know what their purpose was, but they kill a lot of people every time and then get repulsed. ”

"After a while, they will come again and continue to kill."

"At first, Dustless thought they were coming for the corpse. Because every time the puppet arrived, it attacked the corpse. ”

"And every time they retreat, the puppet snatches some of the corpses."

But later, the people on the dustless mountain found that snatching the corpse did not seem to be the only purpose of these puppets, but their other purpose was to kill people, simply to kill people. It seems that the dustless mountain must be destroyed. ”

"It was around that time that Dustless Mountain began to study how to make puppets. On the one hand, I want to find a way to save my ancestors through puppets. ”

"On the other hand, they hope to use the puppets to defend against the puppets, so that they don't have to kill and injure so many people."

Hui Ling pointed around and said, "The Dustless Mountain is defending layer by layer, hiding itself so hidden. Part of the reason is also the desire not to be found by the puppets. ”

"However, it doesn't seem to be of much use, and the puppet will still come when it's time to come."

I nodded slowly, "That's interesting." On the one hand, the Yin Golem wants to take away all the people who have practiced the Golden Kui Sutra, and on the other hand, they want to snatch the corpses. ”

"Do they want to get something for nothing? What those two brothers worked so hard to bring back from the Heavenly Palace, they wanted to keep it for themselves? ”

Hui Ling said, "It should be like this. ”

I feel like I've touched a corner of this secret, but there's still a long way to go before it's completely unraveled.

But...... As long as I can save my grandfather. After rescuing Grandpa, it doesn't matter so much whether you want to find out the core of the secret.

Bai Zhi next to him suddenly said, "It's almost time, has your chain been broken?" ”

Hui Ling said, "It's coming, it's coming." ”

Then, while the owner of the chain was sleeping, she began to rack her brains to break free.

A quarter of an hour later, only a crunch was heard, and the chain broke.

Hui Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said to us, "Okay. ”

However, neither I nor Bai Zhi's expressions were too relaxed.

We listened quietly to the movements around us to see if the owner of the chain was aware of it.

Luckily, everything is working fine.

Hui Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said to Bai Zhi and me, "Okay, we can escape now." ”

As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she exclaimed, "It's broken." ”

Then she closed the door.

I asked Hui Ling, "What's wrong?" ”

Hui Ling pointed to the courtyard.

I leaned down on the crack in the door and took a look, and found that all the puppets in the yard were lying on the ground, and some of them were even showing signs of decay.

Hui Ling said, "Their souls should be infused regularly. Otherwise, the soul will run out and they will be reduced to a corpse. ”

Bai Zhi said: "So, now that they are all ruined, you will soon be exposed, right?" ”

Hui Ling snorted: "Maybe it's been revealed now, these puppets haven't gone back, the cultivators in the village outside have already sensed that something is wrong, we have to leave immediately." ”

I said to Hui Ling, "Can't you remedy it now by pouring their souls into them?" ”

Hui Ling shook her head: "No. I don't have that many souls anymore. Before, Wuchen Mountain prepared some souls for me, and made Huiling wine. ”

"But I've used all that wine to break the chains. According to my previous calculations, these puppets should be depleted for a few hours. ”

"They are obviously in the formation that can stabilize their souls, why do their souls still dissipate so quickly?"

Suddenly, Hui Ling turned her head to look at me and Bai Zhi: "You two, you look embarrassed." Injured before? ”

We nodded.

Hui Ling said again, "You have stayed in the formation? ”

Bai Zhi and I nodded again.

Hui Ling's face immediately collapsed: "You won't absorb the things in the formation and then repair your injuries, right?" ”

Bai Zhigan coughed: "This ...... Is it important? ”

Hui Ling: "Nonsense, the things in the formation are fixed, and if you absorb more, those puppets will naturally not be enough." I've been so miserable by you two this time. ”

She searched the inside of the house, carried a few things in her arms, and then walked outside.

When she walked to the door, she turned her head again and looked at me and Bai Zhi, who were stunned: "Let's go." Waiting for someone else to catch it? ”

However, before she could finish speaking, there was already a rush of footsteps outside.

The cultivators on the dustless mountain have already arrived.
