Chapter 2020: Puppet House
"Yes, although I don't know much about Purple Cloud City, I can at least see that this Luoyu City is indeed very well run by the Nanyin City Lord, such a beautiful city, I don't want it to be hurt like this. Ye Chen smiled and nodded, "Of course, more, I'm still for myself, after all, the materials needed for this puppet technique are not available anywhere." ”
"Little Brother Ye Chen said this, and I feel much better. Nan Yin said this, followed by a long sigh, "Alas, it's all my fault, I just want to have a good relationship with the nearby city lord, as long as we don't mess with others, we don't spend too much energy on city defense construction and the training of the city lord's guard." I never thought that because of this, in the end, Luo Yu City was coveted, it seems that I, the city lord, am still incompetent......"
"Nanyin City Lord doesn't have to sigh like this, it's not easy to be all-encompassing, Luoyu City can have its current appearance, which is the embodiment of Nanyin City Lord's ability. And the most important thing now is to see how to solve the situation in front of you, isn't it?"
"Although Brother Ye Chen is young, he looks at things much more thoroughly than me. It seemed that Ye Chen's comfort had played a role, and a firm look gradually appeared in Nanyin's eyes, "Since the words have come to this, please also ask Ye Chen's little brother to move and follow me to another place." ”
Ye Chen nodded lightly, followed Nanyin's footsteps and walked in the direction he came, he was also very curious in his heart, he didn't know what kind of mystery was hidden in this Luo Yu City, and he could turn the situation around with his help.
"Little brother Ye Chen, it's here in front. ”
He was silently making all kinds of conjectures in his heart, and it wasn't until he heard Nanyin's voice again that Ye Chen stopped, looked up, and was a little unsure where he was at this moment.
It stands to reason that in this short way, even if you are distracted, there is no reason to go out of the scope of the City Lord's Mansion. However, all he could see was a dead bamboo forest, and a thatched hut hidden at the end of the bamboo forest, which seemed to be about to collapse at any time.
"Nanyin City Lord, this is ......" couldn't think of a reason for a while, Ye Chen could only ask aloud.
"Trouble little brother Ye Chen to wait here for a while, I will order someone to come and clean up. Nan Yin didn't seem to expect this to be the case here, and couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, "Don't hide it from Little Brother Ye Chen, this is a top secret place in my City Lord's Mansion." It's just that I've been sitting idle here, and even I rarely set foot in it, and I never thought it would be like this. ”
Looking at the thatched house in front of him, Ye Chen could vaguely feel that there seemed to be something in it that was attracting him, so he stretched out his hand and shouted Nanyin, and said, "Don't worry, Nanyin City Lord, let's talk about it first, what kind of place is this thatched house in front of us, right? Just standing here, I can also feel that it is unusual." ”
"Little Brother Ye Chen is worthy of being a puppeteer, so he can connect with the things in the house......"
The first sentence that Nanyin said made Ye Chen's eyes light up suddenly, and he couldn't help but interrupt the other party's words: "So, this inconspicuous-looking thatched house actually hides something related to puppetry?"
"That's right. Seeing that Ye Chen had already thought of something, Nan Yin no longer hid it, and explained directly: "Little Brother Ye Chen may not know that about a hundred years ago, the city lord of Luo Yu City at that time was a puppet master named Wind Flame. This hut was left behind by the Wind Flame City Lord at that time. ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen's eyes couldn't help but widen, obviously there was no such thing. As if seeing the surprise in Ye Chen's heart, Nan Yin also followed and said, "Actually, from the beginning, no one has ever found out that the Wind Flame City Lord still has such an identity. Coincidentally, at that time, it was also Luo Yu City that was challenged by Purple Cloud City, and at that time, Purple Cloud City was not an exaggeration to say that it was the first city outside the imperial capital, and the challenge issued every year has never been missed. Therefore, at that time, Luo Yu City could be said to be in despair, and he never thought about the possibility of winning. ”
Although the relationship between Luo Yu City and Purple Cloud City also had a certain attraction to Ye Chen, what Ye Chen was more concerned about at this time was the result at that time. "That'...... Is it under this circumstance that the Wind Flame City Lord revealed his identity as a puppeteer?"
"That's right. Nan Yin nodded, "It's just that the Wind Flame City Lord thought of a lot of other ways at the beginning, but in the face of Purple Cloud City's absolute superiority in all aspects, it was not useful at all. It wasn't until the last moment that a large number of beast-shaped puppets and humanoid puppets were released, starting from the City Lord's Mansion, forcing the warriors of Ziyun City back step by step, and finally making Ziyun City have to give up this challenge. ”
Hearing that Luo Yucheng finally relied on the puppet technique to defend it, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had substituted himself into the body of the wind flame at that time, and showed a relieved smile. However, Nan Yin on the other side showed a look of regret on his face, and he shook his head lightly and said, "It's a pity that since then, no one has seen him in Luo Yu City, where the Wind Flame City Lord hastily passed down the position of City Lord and left. ”
"Why, isn't the duel obviously ......" Ye Chen's words came to his lips, and he had already swallowed the words back, and he had already thought of a lot of information he had learned from the Phantom Emperor in his mind. After all, even now, puppetry is rarely mentioned, and it is only regarded as a secret in the hearts of martial artists, and in the eyes of some people, it is not an exaggeration to say that puppeteers can even be said to be equated with evil cultivators.
"As a puppeteer, Little Brother Ye Chen must have understood the difficulties of the Wind Flame City Lord at that time, so even if Luo Yu City was only grateful to the Wind Flame City Lord, the result was still like this. Nan Yin took a deep breath, as if he wanted to change the somewhat heavy atmosphere, and then said: "However, after all, this is all in the past, and now, Luo Yu City can only rely on what the Wind Flame City Lord left behind to hope for a turnaround." ”
Taking Ye Chen step by step towards the thatched hut in front of him, Nan Yin gently pushed the door open, followed by a quick retreat of a few steps, and said through a layer of gray dust: "In this hut, all the things placed before the Wind Flame City Lord left, someone has checked it before, and said that although some of them are damaged, most of them can still be used." ”
Although the environment in the hut looked a little bad, Ye Chen still couldn't wait to walk in, looking at the same puppet beast after another, his heart couldn't help but thump.
