It has been a period of time since Lian's father and daughter settled in Luanfeng City, and Lian Xin chose to enter the security team of Luanfeng City to help manage public security issues.

After all, he had done this job in the village before, and now it is the same, but the scale has expanded a little, and Lianxin has a certain experience base and is also handy in management.

And Lian Xinyue followed Shen Zhenxin wholeheartedly to learn Qimen puppetry.

This kind of systematic learning is much more flexible than the simple spiritual imprint that Lian Xinyue pondered by himself.

She once showed Yan Xuelan the activities of the handmade puppets she made, which was relatively flexible and free, in fact, that one was the limit that Lian Xinyue could manipulate at that time, and the perfect control that could be achieved without affecting her own state.

But for a person who has practiced puppetry, a puppet is really of little use, unless it is a particularly powerful individual.

Therefore, there will be a variety of directions for cultivating puppetry, and there are two main schools of them, one is the legion stream and the other is the individual stream.

As the name suggests, the legion stream is to use a large number of puppets to use crowd tactics, used to deal with the enemy, the strength of each puppet individual does not need to be strong, it can slowly grind the opponent to death, of course, if there are more special things, such as various props that can explode, or poison, drugs and the like, arrows, crossbow arrows and the like hidden inside the puppet can be used for yin people.

The individual flow is very easy to explain, taking the opposite path from the legion flow, the puppeteer does not make puppets on a large scale, but specializes in one or even several puppets, uses good materials to make them, and constantly updates them, so that their strength is getting stronger and stronger, and even making the strength of the puppets no less than ordinary powerful warriors.

However, whether it is the corps flow, the individual flow, or any miscellaneous way, there is a common feature that burns money.

Moreover, this burning money is more time-consuming than refining pills.

Refining elixir requires a variety of herbs, and although it requires a large amount of purchase, it can also quickly pay off.

For example, the most basic herbs can be made into the simplest Huixue San, and there is a large market for Huiqi San, although it is a basic herbal medicine, the demand is still relatively large.

But puppetry, it's different, apprentices who have just learned puppetry, the small puppet props they make, at most can be regarded as toys, and they don't operate on their own, either they need human hands to control, or they need the puppeteer's spiritual imprint to guide the control.

It doesn't make much practical sense.

Low-level elixirs are still useful, and there is no need for too low-level puppet team warriors.

It can be said that unless the puppet technique has been cultivated to a certain level, it will be difficult for the puppeteer to return to his roots.

But no puppeteer would want to get back to his roots.

Because their expenses will increase further as their cultivation grows and their understanding of puppetry.

You can't always let the puppet maintain a posture, but you must learn to take the initiative to update it, so that your puppet is always kept in the best condition.

Material costs, maintenance costs, and the like are indispensable.

If it was Lian Xinyue's previous family background, it was already the ultimate to be able to use the simplest wood, stone, and ore, which was also a relatively common material she could find near the small village.

And after apprenticing, she was able to get in touch with more materials, some of which were provided by her master Shen Zhenxin, and then by Yan Xuelan.

Lian Xinyue doesn't have to worry about the problem of materials at all, as long as she dares to refine it, the materials will naturally be provided.

It doesn't matter if you fail or not, you can't practice a lump of waste dregs.

After such a period of study, Lian Xinyue has prepared three puppets as his first contribution to serving under Yan Xuelan's sect.

She just showed Shen Zhenxin after her own independent design, and came to see Yan Xuelan without obvious problems.

As for why Shen Zhenxin didn't propose any amendments? It's entirely because Lian Xinyue didn't make any technical mistakes.

If it is a mistake in this regard, Shen Zhenxin will point it out as soon as possible and let Lian Xinyue correct it, as for how effective this puppet is from his point of view, whether it is good or not, whether it needs to be improved, etc., Shen Zhenxin will not answer.

Unlike other teachers who teach puppetry, Shen Zhenxin is said to be weird, and it is also an important reason why he has not found Ruyi's apprentice for so many years.

Because under normal circumstances, the teacher who cultivates puppet art will teach his disciples little by little, and will conduct a detailed inspection of the puppets made by his disciples, how to do it, how to modify it, it can be said that it is a complete mold and then let his disciples fill it, and after this kind of puppet is proficient, he will start to learn the second one, and so on, and then he can master most of the common puppet production methods, and then he can start to learn all kinds of unique puppets inherited by his master. When they're almost done learning, they're ready to learn, and then they can try to design their own puppets.

This is the process that most martial artists who have learned puppet art need to go through in their lifetime.

It's just that Shen Zhenxin thinks that this will not teach a good apprentice, but will limit the apprentice's play.

In Shen Zhenxin's view, what is needed to learn puppetry is not super talent, but patience and thought.

He wasn't a talented player per se, and his qualifications were average among those he had studied puppetry.

But now, it is Shen Zhenxin's achievements that are the most prominent.

The reason is that Shen Zhenxin is diligent enough, and his teacher did not teach him by hand, but let Shen Zhenxin let go of his hands and feet to design, produce, and then think by himself and solve all kinds of problems that may arise.

In this way, many seemingly fanciful designs have been realized.
