Chapter 136: Puppetry
Xiao Yao was taken back to the room by Han Xiaosheng and Sora Aoi, and the door was closed, and then the two took Xiao Yao into the back hall.
The three of them came to a wall, and Han Xiaosheng shouted, "Open!" ”
Aoi Sora ran over and pressed it in the corner of the wall, and there was a boom, and a door appeared on the wall.
"Let's go inside!" Han Xiaosheng said with a smile and pushed Xiao Yao into the door.
It was a secret chamber with a gallows on it, and a man tied up on it, surrounded by bottles and jars.
The door to the wall closed automatically after the three of them entered, and the secret room was pitch black, and Sora Aoi took out a bag of powdery stuff and sprinkled it on the surrounding walls, and then a little silver light suddenly emitted from the wall, illuminating the entire secret room.
Xiao Yao was surprised in his heart, and became more and more curious about the identities of the two, everything here was very different from the things in the cultivation world, full of mystery and horror.
He was pulled to the opposite side of the gallows by Han Xiaosheng, and only then did Xiao Yao see clearly the person on the gallows, no, not a person, strictly a corpse.
The corpse had dried, and the skin and muscle tissue had sunk deep, like sun-dried bacon, but I didn't know how these two people used to preserve it, and there was no unpleasant smell.
"Empty, you put away this made puppet, I'll tie this kid up!" Han Xiaosheng dragged Xiao Yao and instructed Sora Aoi.
"Good!" Sora Aoi was overjoyed, this puppet was successfully made by the two of them for a long time, and its strength was equivalent to a powerhouse with five turns of the star core, but I didn't expect the boss to be so generous today, and he actually gave it to her.
But Han Xiaosheng's next sentence made Sora Aoi's good mood disappear in an instant.
"Don't be in a hurry to refine first, when I talk to this kid, you will pay it back to me!"
When Sora Aoi, who was looking happy, heard this, his eyes suddenly turned white with anger, and he glared at the boss fiercely, eager to refine Han Xiaosheng into a puppet.
Xiao Yao realized at this time that these two people were not normal cultivators, but descendants of the puppet sect who specialized in crooked ways.
Could it be that these two are going to refine themselves into puppets?
Thinking of this, a killing intent rose in Xiao Yao's heart, it seemed that these two people did not look like the kind of heinous puppet sect heirs, but now that the facts were in front of him, Xiao Yao couldn't help but believe it.
As he spoke, Sora Aoi had already removed the puppet on the gallows, and Han Xiaosheng dragged Xiao Yao to prepare to hang it.
"Don't hang up, let's talk about something now!" Seeing that he was about to be hung on the gallows, Xiao Yao really couldn't pretend anymore, so he gently shook off the cold Xiaosheng grabbed his hand, and said with a cold face.
Han Xiaosheng was shocked: "You are not poisoned?" "Xiao Yao got out of his control just now and used star power, which means that it is useless to dissipate the stars.
"No, your Xingsan is not effective for me, let's say, are you going to refine me into a puppet?" Xiao Yao stared at Han Xiaosheng, a strong killing intent surged in his eyes, if he was refined into a puppet, he would not be able to be at peace even if he died, so the puppet sect was also a sect hated by all cultivators, and it was jointly exterminated by people in the cultivation world thousands of years ago, and only some low-level disciples were left who fled everywhere.
If you guessed correctly, the two people in front of you should be the descendants of the fleeing people of the puppet sect back then.
Han Xiaosheng looked nervous, he could feel Xiao Yao's killing intent, and Xiao Yao's strength He also knew that although he had a way to hide his breath so that Xiao Yao could not find out his cultivation, if Xiao Yao really made a move, he couldn't stop it at all.
Sora Aoi also reacted, threw the puppet in the corner, and shook his hands again and again: "Big brother, we definitely don't want to make you a puppet, we are looking for you just to cooperate and want to talk to you, I believe you are also interested in our cooperation." ”
"That's right, although we practice puppetry, all we are looking for are some corpses, and we will not and dare not make puppets from living people, otherwise we would not have come to the gladiatorial arena to collect the corpses of cultivators." Han Xiaosheng also hurriedly explained.
Xiao Yao didn't speak, neither believing nor objecting, just staring at the two of them coldly, and the backs of the two of them were wet with sweat.
Puppetry, which is generally practiced in places where there are fewer people, is better, if you encounter a kind of guardian in the cultivation world, you will definitely chase them and shout and kill, the gladiatorial arena has no meaning to them, it seems that they venture to the gladiatorial arena to collect corpses.
After some analysis, Xiao Yao believed the words of the two of them a little, and asked coldly: "Tell me what you want to cooperate with me?" ”
Seeing that the killing intent in Xiao Yao's eyes had decreased, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they still didn't dare to be careless, and said cautiously: "We are looking for you just to let you take us into the real hell when the hell storm is coming, looking for the corpses of some strong people, we really have no malicious intentions, and it is impossible to refine you into a puppet!" ”
Han Xiaosheng said earnestly.
Xiao Yao frowned, it seemed that these two people had come to the gladiatorial arena for another purpose, and it was the first time he had heard the words Hell Storm, the real Hell.
Vaguely, he felt that there must be a big secret in this, maybe this was the real eighteen layers of hell in the legend.
"What is Hellstorm? Where is the real hell? Honestly, if I'm interested, I'll consider becoming your free bodyguard! ”
Xiao Yao said in one sentence that the two of them calculated their own purpose, if it was really as they said, they just wanted to enter the real hell to find the corpse of the strong, then they calculated that they wanted to be their free bodyguard.
After all, people who practice puppet art are very weak physically, so they are stronger than ordinary people, so they need someone to protect them when they enter some dangerous areas. But once the corpse of the strong man is found and refined into a puppet, then the strength of the puppeteer will immediately increase by leaps and bounds.
Hearing that Xiao Yao actually ignored his previous suspicions, and promised to be the bodyguards of the two of them, Sora Aoi and Han Xiaosheng were overjoyed.
"I don't know exactly what Hell Storm is, but it's recorded in an ancient book handed down by the Puppet Sect. The entrance to the Hellstorm is here, and it erupts every ten years, and when the Hellstorm breaks out, we can enter a strange place through the entrance, which is called the real Hell in ancient texts. Han Xiaosheng said with a reminiscing face, his tone deep.
"There is still such a thing, but why is there only such a record in the ancient books of the Puppet Sect? I've never heard of it? And what is the place after entering through the entrance of Hellstorm? Why is it called real hell? Xiao Yao asked curiously, even Xuantian hadn't said these things, maybe the so-called hellstorm was just a small spatial turbulence outbreak!
"The reason why there is a record in the ancient books of the Puppet Sect is because when a hell storm came, a senior of the Puppet Sect happened to go in, and he found a lot of strong corpses in that place, which were real powerhouses, and the worst were the top powerhouses of the Star Realm Realm!" Han Xiaosheng said, with a serious face, as if he was shocked by the record in the ancient books.
"The corpse of a Star Realm powerhouse!" Xiao Yao exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he looked at Han Xiaosheng in disbelief, it seemed that the spatial turbulence explosion that he had originally guessed was pure nonsense, how could it be possible to kill the powerhouse of the Star Domain Realm just by relying on the spatial turbulence.
Cultivating the Seven Realms, Star Movement, Star Core, Star Change, Nebula, Gathering Stars, Star Annihilation, Star Domain, the strongest is the Star Domain Realm, the strongest person at this level can walk through the universe and travel in the starry sky, how can he not even avoid a small range of space turbulence, and the worst corpses in that place are all Star Realm powerhouses, what is that like?
Perhaps, a secret that the entire galaxy cultivation world does not know is about to be revealed.
"Since the predecessors of the puppet sect have entered that place, there must be more records, tell me what you know, in detail!" Xiao Yao held back the excitement in his heart and said coldly, with a threatening look in his eyes, which meant to tell Han Xiaosheng not to lie.
Hearing that Xiao Yao was willing to act as his bodyguard, Han Xiaosheng was already overjoyed, he would still deceive Xiao Yao there, his disguised image of a master, he had long been lost there, he couldn't wait to hold Xiao Yao's thighs firmly, begging him not to leave himself behind, if he could get a corpse of a star realm powerhouse, then he could at least refine a puppet of a star realm powerhouse, and see who dared to bully him in the future.
"According to ancient records, when the hellstorm comes, the entrance to that place will be opened, and after entering, you will come to a desolate, ancient, and eerie Shura field, where there are severed limbs and corpses everywhere, there are humans, monsters, and even headless angels, huge demons, in short, it is a very terrifying place."
Xiao Yao listened intently, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
Angels, demons, these are some myths and legends of ancient Western human beings, as early as tens of thousands of years ago, when science and technology developed to the peak, this kind of myths and legends have been broken, including some ancient Chinese myths and legends, but Han Xiaosheng actually said that in the ancient records of the puppet sect, some people have seen the gods in these myths and legends, no, not gods, they are god corpses!
Now that the way of cultivation is prevalent, people's definition of God has been very clear, and those who were called gods in ancient times are actually very likely to be powerful practitioners, but the methods of cultivation are different.
But judging from some of the miracles in the legends, the cultivation of those gods may have gone beyond the realm of cultivators in the Star Realm, so what kind of powerful existence should they be, and what kind of person or thing killed them?
According to Han Xiaosheng's description, the so-called real hell actually sounds more like an ancient battlefield, a battlefield for the strong, and the minimum standard for participation is also the powerhouse of the human star realm.
With the powerhouses of the Star Realm as soldiers and angels and demons as pawns, who is in charge of such a battlefield?
In the depths of the distant starry sky of the universe, behind that battlefield, what kind of secrets are hidden? Could it be that beyond the vast galaxy of the Milky Way, there are advanced life forms that human civilization does not know?
