Chapter 704, Puppeteer, Iron Gongzhai
There was a black mass floating in the stream, and the hands floated, a bit like a floating corpse. Chen Ye hurriedly took out the iron hook, put it on the rope, and quickly went out, directly lassoed the black thing, and pulled hard.
The black thing was easily pulled to the shore, and when I turned it over, it was not a corpse, but indeed a puppeteer, covered in black clothes, lying in the water, and the clothes were covering the body, looking a bit like a floating corpse.
The puppeteer is about the same height as an adult man, and his facial features are painted with a pigment. But the facial features are very exaggerated, the appearance looks particularly uncomfortable, and the whole appearance is particularly weird.
Linglong said: "This puppet has a strange expression, and all kinds of strange patterns are painted on his face, what is it for, will the Miao people use someone to sacrifice or do some special purpose?" ”
Sparrow shook her head and said, "I don't know if it's used for sacrifice, but one thing I can be sure of is that the black clothes worn by this puppeteer and the black flower behind it should be a corpse flower." ”
Corpse Flower! Everyone was shocked.
The black clothes have been soaked in the water, and the texture has changed a lot, but there is a faint pattern.
I took a closer look at it again, couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Sure enough, it's a corpse flower, maybe it was made by the Black Flower Ghost Mother." It's just that how did the puppeteers end up here......"
Linglong said: "Could it be that this place is close to the lair of the Black Flower Ghost Mother, whose puppet accidentally fell into the water and flowed down the current." ”
Hua Xue wrinkled for a long time and said, "At present, it seems that the relationship with the Black Flower Ghost Mother cannot be determined by the puppeteer and this black dress alone. Now that the Black Flower Ghost Mother is dead, and the puppeteer is here, we can't jump to conclusions, so as not to affect our next move! "Hua Xue is very cautious.
Linglong said: "The puppeteer floats in the water, and it won't be for no reason." Someone must have abandoned it in the water. Maybe on the top of this river is the lair of the Black Flower Ghost Mother. The Black Flower Ghost Mother died, her nest was in chaos, and the puppet was also thrown into the water and floated down. ”
Hua Xue shook her head and said, "If there is no heavy snow during this time, then your conjecture may be valid." But don't forget, in heavy snowy weather, if the snow melts quickly in the mountains, the puppeteer may have been brought down by the snow from somewhere else, not from the upstream. There is also a possibility that the puppeteer itself was abandoned on the shore, and the water rose during this time, so it was brought down. ”
Linglong thought for a while and said, "Listening to what you say, there are many possibilities for puppeteers to fall into the water. ”
I listened to the conversation between Linglong and Hua Xue, and my heart moved, and I asked, "So is it possible that the puppeteer fell into the water by himself?" ”
Linglong and Hua Xue looked at me in unison and said, "How could the wood fall into the water on its own, it can't run." ”
"Not necessarily!" Chen Ye carefully examined the puppeteer's hands and feet, and then said, "This puppeteer's whole body joints are very delicate, and his hands and feet can move freely. It's not like simply making a personal appearance and putting it there for a simple decorative role. Maybe you can run on your own. ”
I frowned and asked, "Delicate?" I just said it casually, and I don't really believe that the puppeteers would run away on their own. ”
Chen Ye reached out and grabbed the puppeteer's right hand, and pulled it hard, pulling out the arm. Sure enough, the wrists, elbows and shoulders are all screwed on them, which can be swung and even adjusted, and there are even springs, once you use force, the power of the fist will not be too small.
Chen Ye said: "This is a hand mechanism, which is controlled by seventeen delicate mechanisms, and there are also some mechanisms on the legs, if they are wound up." I think this puppet is free to move around. However, the most important part of the puppeteer has been destroyed by people, and it is impossible to repair it. ”
Chen Ye pointed to the position of Mu's chest, several gears had been destroyed by gravity, and there was no way to move at all, and they couldn't repair it.
I asked, "You are proficient in the art of mechanism, have you ever understood the mechanism structure of this kind of puppet before?" ”
Chen Ye was silent for a moment and said, "Xiao Kang, I won't hide it from you." The mechanism on this puppet is a bit like the handwriting of the Chen family. It's just that I don't know much about the creation of things, and if my master is here, he can tell the ins and outs of the puppeteers! ”
Linglong said: "Master Chen is not here, Chen Ye, take a closer look, is it your Chen family's handiwork!" ”
Chen Ye repeatedly checked the structure of the puppeteer's body, and said, "It is a puppet made by the Chen family, and the technique is very exquisite, and it should be a master." For a moment I couldn't remember who it was! ”
Hua Xue said: "In this way, it is very likely that the puppeteer escaped from the lair of the Black Flower Ghost Mother, and someone chased it out, severely damaging the key part of the puppeteer, making it incapacitated." There may be unsolved mysteries behind this matter. ”
The sudden appearance of puppeteers adds another mystery and weirdness to this trip.
In particular, the puppeteer's exaggerated face, as well as his ability to run, became a mystery to be solved.
I said, "Since it is a puppet made by the Chen family, it makes sense that it can run and walk." What the hell is this puppeteer doing, what does it have to do with the Black Flower Ghost Mother, and who destroyed it? Let's not figure it out for the time being, so don't bother to think about it. The important thing now is to find a way to get past here, whether to take a detour or go upstream. ”
Chen Ye stood on the shore and looked at the other side, and said, "If it's summer, I can swim over, pull a rope over, and let's make a rotating bridge." It's a pity that the weather is cold and the water is turbulent. I'm not sure to swim through! ”
I also shook my head and said, "It's more than ten meters wide, and I'm not sure I can swim over." ”
Sparrow opened the map again and said, "If you go upstream, you will soon encounter steep cliffs and rocks, and you can't get through at all, so it's not appropriate to go up." ”
Linglong said: "But going down is a waterfall with a huge drop, do we want to slide down with a rope, and then find a way to fall below?" ”
Sparrow glanced at me, but still said what he thought, and said, "Yes, this is the fastest way." Slide down from here, then pass under the waterfall and find a way through. Of course, there is another road, which is a few miles back and a bend...... In this way, it may take more than 30 miles of rugged mountain roads. ”
I thought for a while, walked to the edge of the waterfall, the water mist slowly weakened a lot, you can see the cliff below, more than 60 meters at a glance, it is still a little scary to look down, it is difficult to survive falling from here.
Chen Ye said: "Xiao Kang, you decide!" ”
I said, "Untie the rope, I'll go down and have a look, and if you're sure it's passable, then you can go down." I've jumped off cliffs higher than this, don't worry about my safety, I'm still experienced. ”
"Oh hoo hoo hoo!" Just as we were about to slide down from beneath the general, a shout came from across the river. When the sparrow heard this, he responded with two words, "Oh roar, oh roar." ”
In the middle of the two big trees opposite, two seedlings came out and said, "Who are you?" What are you doing in my Tiegong Miao Village? ”
Sparrow said: "I am the insect king Sparrow, and these are my friends." I have important things to do when I go to Tiegongzhai. Tell us how you crossed the water when the water was rising...... We're going to cross the river! ”
Seeing the two Miao people on the other side, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, hoping that the sparrows would convince them to provide a way to cross the river quickly.
The Miao people on the other side hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you really the insect king of Miao Jiang?" No way, why have I never seen you, that insect king is old, not as young as you. It's not called a sparrow, the insect king is Lord Xiao Guan. ”
Sparrow shouted again: "That's the old insect king, I am the new insect king." Have you ever been to Dou Worm Slope...... Don't you know the news? ”
The voice on the other side responded: "We rarely communicate with the outside world, so we don't know who the new Worm King is...... I only know that the old insect king is Xiao Guan, you say that you are the insect king, the new insect king, but there is a golden silkworm Gu? If you can take out the Golden Silkworm Gu, I believe you are the new Worm King! ”
Looking at it like this, Tiegong Miao Village did not participate in the insect fighting meeting, and this village rarely communicates with the outside, I don't know that the new insect king is already a sparrow, and I think it is still the era of the old insect king Xiaoguan.
The tradition of Miao Jiang for a hundred years is that the insect king will drive the golden silkworm Gu, and if the new insect king is born, there will also be a golden silkworm Gu on his body. But things are very unfortunate, the Golden Silkworm Gu has been taken away by Xiao Guan, and there is no Golden Silkworm Gu on the Sparrow at the moment, some are just the Colorful Demon Spider King.
Sparrow immediately said angrily: "You two put your eyes on, I am the new insect king of Miaojiang, I don't need to prove anything to you?" ”
Miao Junfeng also shouted: "I am from Miao Wang City, this young man is indeed the new insect king of Miao Jiang, you are hiding here and not going out, naturally you don't know the outside world, this is our new insect king." ”
The Miao people on the other side were extremely vigilant and sneered: "Don't put a score in front of us!" If there is no insect king of the Golden Silkworm Gu, what kind of insect king is it. If you can't take out the Golden Silkworm Gu, you don't call yourself the Worm King. ”
The blue tendons on Sparrow's face burst out, and she said angrily: "There are Gu worms in the world that are more powerful than the Golden Silkworm Gu, don't sit in the well and watch the sky, be a frog at the bottom of the well." We have very important things to do, hurry up and tell us how to cross the river. ”
Miao Dao on the other side: "It's such a big shelf, even if people outside think you are the king of insects." I don't have to recognize you as the king of insects. In our minds, Xiao Guan is our insect king. ”
Sparrow said angrily: "The old insect king Xiao Guan is my master, I have to pass through the Tiegong Village on this trip, the purpose is to save the old insect king, you delay my big event, can you afford it?" ”
The two Miao people on the opposite side looked at each other, seeming to be a little hesitant, and after a while, they said, "Haha, we have seen too many liars!" When did Xiao Guan accept you as an apprentice? ”
