Chapter 41: The Puppet

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that the Immortal Dao Nan Dharma Protector told the origin of the mask that Liu Yang gave them, and suggested that other Dharma Protectors should not wear them at will. But the Eastern Protector seems to have guessed some things that the Immortal Dao had not stated. Three days later, the dragon lockers, who were ready, decided that Mu Qingming and his wife would take three disciples to Haigeng Dam to rescue Kyaukyun. Before leaving, Mu Qingming assigned the task and gathered his disciples to start telling the plans he had made one by one. After leading out Mu Qingming, he asked the disciples to strictly abide by the plan and act, and after not making the slightest mistake, he handed over a bottle of cold spring saliva to Long Gu. And the four protectors of the Immortal Dao in the stronghold of Longmen Village were also ready to dispatch, and they took out their masks one by one and put them on their faces. 】

The sky was darkening before I knew it. The afterglow of the setting sun dimmed and merged with the night.

In the small courtyard of the Mu family, today is exceptionally quiet, and the silence is uncomfortable.

The big red lanterns under the eaves of the ring corridor are lit up, illuminating the patio in the night. The two night owls that come out of the night are abnormal today, without the excitement of the past after sunset, obediently squatting in their respective cages, quietly closing their eyes and recuperating.

The night wind swept up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and the cunning snow leopard slowly walked through the patio, entered the bedroom in the main house, and lay down in front of Mu Qingming and Mo Han's bed, guarding Hanquan and Mu Yunle, who were sleeping on the bed.

A few paper-cut villains with talismans written on their bodies quietly walked through the corridor, climbed onto the windowsill, shook their heads a few times, and tilted their heads to look into the room.

The stone beasts on the roofs of each house stretched out their claws one after another in the night, shrugged their shoulders, opened their breaths, and came back to life after reviving one by one. Then they jumped off the roof one after another and fell into the flowers and plants in the courtyard and lurked.

Tonight, they will work with Miao Yu and Miao Le to protect this small courtyard.

In the brightly lit kitchen, Mu Qingming and his disciples sat around the dining table.

Mu Qingming had been whispering to the others in the room, sometimes gesturing with his hand a few times in order to impress the disciples more and remember every word he said.

Mo Han listened with her cheeks on her cheeks, and at the same time cast an admiring and adoring look at her husband.

In just three days, Mu Qingming formulated such a detailed plan based on limited information, not only taking into account the abilities of each participant in the plan, but also applying them reasonably, so that their abilities could exert the greatest effect.

Moreover, all the details that can be thought of are thought of, and nothing is missing.

Mu Qingming, who became serious, changed his attitude of being lazy and doing everything casually.

Focus, meticulousness, these things that could rarely be seen in Mu Qingming's body in the past, today opened the eyes of Mo Han and his disciples.

After talking for a while, Mu Qingming carefully finished the whole plan.

He looked around at the crowd and asked, "Have you memorized every step?" ”。

Mo Han and the others nodded in unison under the dim light of the oil lamp.

"The last thing I want to say is that Kyaukyun is my apprentice, and I should have just gone out to rescue her myself." Mu Qingming smiled, and when he looked around at everyone again, his smile had disappeared, and he immediately had a solemn face, and said loudly to everyone: "But she is also a disciple of our Mu family, your senior sister or junior sister, the Mu family will never let anyone be an abandoned child easily, and Jiaoyun is no exception." Since you have asked to join, show courage and show our opponents that we are not so easy to bully. ”。

Speaking of this, Mu Qingming showed a look of satisfaction when he saw that the disciples were no longer afraid on their faces and eyes.

After a pause, he said, "Together, we can definitely save Kyaukyun." ”。

"Well, that's for sure." Ah Hong stood up, took the lead in speaking, and answered confidently.

The other disciples, Zhang Xiaosheng and Long Gu nodded heavily.

"Let's go and rest for each of you first, and refresh yourself for tonight's action." At this time, Mo Han said to his disciples, "Go ahead." ”。

The disciples got up, bowed, and were about to leave.

"Aunt Long." At this time, Mu Qingming stopped Long Gu again, reached out to a palm-length porcelain bottle everywhere in his sleeve, and handed it to the other party: "This is what you hold." ”。

Long Gu took the porcelain vase, and suddenly felt the cold rise on his palm.

The biting coldness came from the white porcelain vase in her hand, which was as smooth and round as mutton fat jade.

"Is this the saliva of the cold spring?" Long Gu, who suddenly felt that her hands were frozen, hurriedly asked this, and changed the bottle.

The hand that held the porcelain bottle before, the skin in the palm of the palm had been frozen purple red.

"It's not just saliva, it's his gastric juices." Mu Qingming didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "In the past few days, Hanquan has not been less guilty of vomiting in order to get these things, but he also wants to do his part for Jiaoyun, so he still holds on." It's not easy to get such a bottle, and there is only such a bottle, so I put it away and use it as planned. ”。

Long Gu, who nodded in response, held the porcelain vase with both hands and held it steady, followed Zhang Xiaosheng and Ah Hong out of the house, and went back to their rooms to rest for a while.

After the disciples left, Mo Han got up and took the teapot to fill some tea leaves, and walked to the small stove where the copper kettle was slowly boiling hot water: "It seems that you are married, my mother-in-law told me privately that you are one of the few dragon lockers who survived the last battle between the dragon lockers and the Yin and Yang family. At that time, she described the battle as terrifying, and I wondered if there was an element of boasting, which mother would not brag about the child she was proud of. In the future, I should be the same, I will brag about Yunle. ”。

As he spoke, Mo Han had already lifted the round long-necked copper kettle with a stove as colored as gold and as bright as a mirror, slowly poured the hot water into the teapot in his hand, and put down the teapot.

The copper kettle was covered with slender and smooth characters, like birds and insects, and if you looked closely, those words were the words of the dragon locker.

The steaming heat spread out in the faint light like a thick fog, and for a moment the furnishings and objects in the kitchen were a little blurry in the hazy mist.

Mo Han took water from the bucket and added it to the copper kettle, filled the copper kettle again, and put it back on the stove again.

Mu Qing was silent, sitting alone at the dinner table, and the bloody scene of flesh and blood flying and flesh splattering appeared in his mind.

It was his memory, the memory that Mo Han mentioned that was left in Mu Qingming's mind after the end of the last war.

That should be the first time that Mu Qingming's disciples of their generation have experienced a big battle. That is also the Suolong people of their generation, most of whom were the first to go out of the Central China area; But many people died in a foreign land outside the border and did not come back alive.

If Mo Han hadn't mentioned it, Mu Qingming would never have been willing to mention it again for the rest of his life.

"But for now, it's not just luck that you can come back alive at that time, but also strength." Mo Han, who sat back next to Mu Qingming again, poured a cup of tea for her husband Mu Qingming, who had already said that he had a dry mouth about his plan.

Mo Han's words seem to be intentional, but they seem to be unintentional; However, it is true that I admire Mu Qingming. In addition, it is also to eliminate the tension of the husband.

Although Mu Qingming was not nervous; Even so far, Mu Qingming still doesn't know the bottom of the opponent he is about to face tonight, but he is also an old dragon locker who has experienced strong winds and waves, so there is nothing to be nervous about.

Mu Qingming didn't say a word, reached out and held the teacup, and slowly picked it up.

The heat on the teacup instantly spread throughout Mu Qingming's palm.

After blowing the hot air, Mu Qingming did not rush to taste the hot tea, but said to his wife without hurry: "It was in the big war, there were too many people who died for me, and I could come back alive." I've 'borrowed' too many lives. ”。

In his mind, the dragon-locking people who had protected him flashed, like a marquee; But what Mu Qingming thought in his heart was: "This time it may be my turn to do what you have done in the past; That being the case, I want them to come back alive no matter what. ”......

The waves crashed on the shore and swept the shore on all sides of Dianchi Lake.

Longmen Village, which is lively during the day, also quiets down after nightfall.

Because of the sea of grass in the east, a wharf was set up by the Dianchi Lake outside Longmen Village. During the day, the natural boats come and go, noisy and noisy.

At night, when the steamers and sailboats are gone, the place is quiet.

As for the Changshengdao stronghold hidden in the well in the village, it was even more silent.

The four Dharma protectors who had nothing to do, after giving Jiaoyun something to eat, used techniques to restrain her.

During this period, the Western Protector went out, and I don't know where to go to get a pocket watch that had lost paint, and was asking the Eastern Protector to teach him how to read the minute and hour hands.

By the way, I will also tell you about the Western Protector and some knowledge of clocks.

The Dharma Protectors of the North and South didn't seem to have much interest in the novelties of this era, and they didn't have much curiosity, so they each found a corner and sat down, closed their eyes and rested.

As far as their current bodies are concerned, whether it is casting spells or Taoism, they can't compare to the living ones at all.

There is a big flaw in the art of the Immortal Dao.

The corpse qi even made the reunited Dharma protectors greatly reduce the skills they performed. But these Dharma protectors like the living dead, although they can not eat or drink, they must rely on corpse qi to survive, and they must also use corpse qi as a guide to cast spells.

Their corpse stench penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and they must rely on corpse qi to maintain all physiological functions.

When he fought with Miao Yu and Miao Le that day, the Dharma Protectors of the North and South had already determined this, and they also knew that this technique of the Immortal Dao had this shortcoming.

It's just that they both tacitly protect the Dharma in the north and south, and they didn't say it.

This is the second secret they discovered, once they are within the control of Liu Yang's magic, the words spoken by the Dharma protectors will be heard by Liu Yang, who controls them.

Moreover, Liu Yang, who is far away in the West Mountain, can also share his vision with them at this time as long as he is willing.

Because now the four protectors have entered Liu Yang's control. Everything they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and say from their mouths will be known to Liu Yang.

Therefore, he didn't want to tell Liu Yang about this secret north-south protector, so he tacitly chose to remain silent.

At least Liu Yang has not yet been able to dive into the depths of their minds and divine consciousness, and all he can do is control their consciousness.

Moreover, since there is this shortcoming, in order to avoid dying under Mu Qingming's knife, both the northern and southern protectors believe that it is better to prepare early.

In addition to the traps they had planted on the ridge in advance, it was to refine some more corpse qi, so that when the time came to fight Mu Qingming, it would be better to be prepared, so as not to run out of energy.

At the same time, it also nourishes the spirits and ensures that there will be no exhaustion at that time.

On the side, Kyaukyun, who was huddled in the corner, had lost consciousness and sat in the corner in a daze, with a dull face and blank eyes.

Even though she likes to let Jiaoyun's swearing wash away the silence in the stronghold, she has important things to do today, and the Dharma Protector of the North and South doesn't dare to give her Jiaoyun consciousness anymore. lest this bright cloud do something to escape on the way out.

After a few days of getting along, the Dharma Protector of the North and South still noticed that the Tao of this person was not too weak. Although he is only a junior who has learned the magic power of the first time, Jiaoyun can already control the true qi in his body accurately and meticulously. Concentrating and concentrating, turning the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth into true qi, practice makes perfect, and the hand can be captured.

If you don't pay attention to it, Kyaukyun can completely break the shackles with the help of True Qi and escape.

The only way to do this is to make Kyaukyun fall into the illusion of ecstasy and lose consciousness.

The Dharma Protectors of the North and the South don't want to fall short in this critical matter. The same is true of the Dharma Protectors of the East and West, so naturally there is no opposition.

After explaining the knowledge of clocks and watches to the Western Protector, he also sat cross-legged on the spot, refining the corpse qi in his body, and preparing for the upcoming battle.

The colony was quiet again.

Only the pocket watch in the hand of the Western Protector made a slight sound of gears turning.

From the Immortal Daoists, the Eastern Protector, who knew a lot of knowledge about clocks and watches, heard this voice and felt that this might be the situation that the Immortal Daoists said about the need to use engine oil.

Then he continued to close his eyes and recuperate, concentrating and gathering his energy, and like the North and South Protectors, he refined the corpse qi in his body.

I don't know how long it took for the three of them to slowly open their eyes.

The East Protector took the lead in getting up, walked to the side of the West Protector and bent down, looked at the pocket watch in the hand of the West Protector, and said to the others, "It's almost time, we can go." ”。

The other Dharma Protectors didn't say much, and after putting away the pocket watch, the West Dharma Protector took out his mask and held it in his hand.

The other three Dharma protectors also took out the bronze masks that had been prepared long ago.

Then, without hesitation, they put their masks on their faces one after another.

The mask was put on their faces, and a burst of metallic coldness came from the mask. The coldness flowed through the cheeks of the four Dharma Protectors in an instant.

The aura of heaven and earth, which was originally peaceful and stable all around, echoed with the cold mask; They were restless, they roared, they roared, and they brought up gusts of wind.

The four protectors all felt this mask, and they were exuding an invisible power, turning into invisible hands, dragging and pulling the aura close to the mask, dragging it into the mask little by little, and then injecting it into the body of the four protectors.

At the same time, the East Protector's heart suddenly jumped.

He also felt an invisible, imperceptible restraint coming across his mask, making him unable to break free from the mask, and the mask was embedded in his face.

At the same time, this powerful binding force was devouring his consciousness little by little. The East Protector had a headache for a while, and his whole body was getting hotter and hotter, and the consciousness in his mind was losing little by little. His self-consciousness became more and more blurred, and his body, hands and feet became more and more disobedient.

The same is true for other Dharma protectors.

They all felt that they were powerless and unable to resist under this strong restraint, and they were very helpless.

Suddenly they became a puppet with a thread, and the control that emanated from the restraint ran down their cheeks into their bodies, flowed through their bodies, and then controlled and moved them.

The Dharma Protectors of the North and South took the lead in having no consciousness at all, and their consciousness could no longer control their bodies. After they walked towards Kyaukyun in a daze, the Southern Protector reached out and grabbed it, lifting up Kyaukyun, who was also unconscious.

And the East Protector said, "Let me go and meet Mu Qingming." ”。

The voice was Liu Yang's voice.

How will the four protectors and the dragon lockers fight? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
