"All I did was raise my hand, saying that it was a life-saving grace, and that disciple of yours did more." Situ Yao said: "He is the only one among you who has fought against that demon Dao and fought to the end, he can stay awake in that kind of sound wave without being disturbed, and he also destroyed half of the thousands of puppets, which is amazing." If it weren't for the sudden appearance of that huge miscellaneous monster, I wouldn't need to intervene at all, and he alone would have protected you. ”

"You saw that monster too?" I was surprised.

"A beast who is neither yin nor yang, how can I not see such a big movement." Situ Yao said coldly: "It must be refined by the demon Dao again, it is not enough to occupy Pu Xian to use demon magic to refine those zombies, and now he has made such an ugly-looking monster, if I catch him one day, I will not let him go." ”

When we walked here from Puxian Village, we didn't find that it was actually a corpse refining place, so it was no wonder that so many stiffeners suddenly appeared.

One doubt was solved, and the other popped up again, and I hesitated and asked, "Listen to Miss Lan Ruo, do you suspect that the demon Dao was once a servant of the Situ family, and what he used was also the Situ family's puppet control technique?" ”

Situ Yao was silent for a moment and said: "The matter has not been clarified yet, and no one can assert that it is him, but the magic used by the other party is indeed from our Situ clan." ”

"Among the Situ family's techniques, there is a method of refining corpses?"

"Our ancestral magic is only one method of controlling the puppet, and when it is cultivated to the extreme, it is called soul control, and other than that, there is no evil way. It's just that all things are connected, and the method he uses to refine the corpse is an extension and modification of a branch of puppet control art, the puppet making method. ”

"In the same way, you can refine a monster like that?"

Situ Yao frowned, turned his eyes to look at the corridor, and said, "This is what I'm most worried about, whether it's a puppet or a zombie, there is a carrier when it is refined, but I can't see through that thing." Last night I looked through many family records, and I couldn't find any magic that might be related to it, and if I really wanted to say that there was a connection, all I could think of was an absurd ancient legend that I had seen in a picture album in an old book when I was a child. ”

"What kind of legend is it?" I asked.

Situ Yao lowered his eyes and looked at me, his eyes were detached, and he was guarded, and said: "That's it, it's just a legend, it doesn't have any authority at all, I just mentioned it casually, there is no need to delve into it." ”

I realized that I was in too much of a hurry, and if it really didn't matter to them, we, as victims, could become allies and fight the enemy together, and it would not be too late to inquire about these things.

If the legend in his mouth is true, then Qian Bingsuo, as well as the text used by Mu Jinshu's general order, as well as the secrets on this monster, all come from the same period, these cannot be just a coincidence, there must be some inevitable connection between them.

"I haven't asked you why you were chased by that demon path and appeared in Puxian Village?" Situ Yao said: "You should not be locals. ”

I nodded, told him briefly about our experience, explained to him the intention, and finally asked him to wait, went back to the room, took out the paper puppet left earlier from the backpack and handed it to him, and said, "This is the paper puppet we saw at that time, I heard that the Situ family is an expert in using puppets, so we plan to come here to ask for advice, hoping to find out the origin of this paper puppet and find the person behind it." ”

The paper puppet was pinched in his hand, and before he could examine it carefully, two giggles suddenly came out of the paper puppet's mouth, and in an instant, its neck twisted, its mouth opened widely, and two sharp thorns the length of fingernails shot out of its mouth in an instant.

Situ Yao reacted quickly, let go the moment the paper puppet's neck twisted over, and at the same time, as if there were several ropes hanging on his five fingers, he grabbed it in the air, threw the paper puppet out, smashed open the door on the side of him, broke his head on the door panel, and half of his head collapsed.

The two sharp thorns were nailed diagonally to the floor beneath his feet, and the force was so heavy that they were completely pierced, and only the two heads that shone faintly in the sunlight could still be seen.

The paper puppet stopped moving, Situ Yao raised his hand and pulled it back in the air, and the seriously damaged puppet returned to him as if it was being put upside down, hanging in the air without any support, motionless.

I saw that Situ Yao was still holding a sword in one hand, touching the center of his eyebrows with the fingers of his free left hand, and then dotted on the paper puppet, drew a few strokes casually, and then pierced the paper puppet's chest, I almost immediately smelled an obvious smell of blood, but I didn't see blood flowing out of the thing.

Situ Yao put away the paper puppet and said to me: "I will accept the things first, and I will give them to the eldest brother later, and ask him to check them and give you an exact answer as the head of the Situ family." ”

The words were transparent, he knew that we were suspicious of the Situ family, and this attitude of not concealing or evading gave me a sense of trustworthiness subconsciously, and said to him: "Then I will thank you in advance." ”

"There's nothing to thank for, prove your innocence, this is what our Situ family should do."

Situ Yao said, slamming the door that was knocked open by the paper puppet and reminding me: "You better go back to the room early, when there is no one around, you better not go anywhere." Dong Chuan is in a very dangerous situation now, and if something happens, we may not be able to help you a second time. ”

I answered, Situ Yao paused before leaving, glanced at the spikes on the ground, and said to me: "I'll let someone clean it up later, you don't know how to uncontrol, be careful not to touch it." ”

"I know, I'll tell them." I nodded, Situ Yao didn't say anything more, turned to leave, went to the place at the top of the stairs, and turned sideways directly.

I leaned on the railing to see him appear in the courtyard, walked into the open hall in the middle of the first floor, turned around, squatted down and looked at the two sharp thorns, at this time there were only two inconspicuous pointed heads on the wooden board, I could not see the material, nor could I see any other doorway in it, so I had to return to Jiang Xun's room with doubts.

His state was much calmer, his left hand still clutching the dress, but his expression had relaxed, and he only looked like he was asleep.

I looked at his broken arm, thought for a while, and secretly made a decision, got up to call Tang Jiao, and went to call Ziwei, knocked on the door for a long time before he opened, a night of hard work, the person looked haggard, just washed a handful of faces, the water droplets did not dry, only wiped casually, wet the cuffs.

I saw that something was wrong with him, and I glanced inside, but he blocked it with his body, and asked me in a hoarse voice, "Master, is there something wrong?" ”

I was silent for a moment, and about five or six paces behind him saw a patch of bird feathers.

I told them about the two spikes in the hallway, told them to be careful, and then told them all to go to Jiang Xun's room, closed the door, thought about it, and said to them, "I need your help." ”

"This ...... What's happening again? Tang Jiao looked dazed, "Xun'er hasn't woken up yet, we can't act rashly." ”

I nodded and said, "I'm looking for you just for him, Jiang Xun's broken arm, I want to get it back." ”

"Huh?" Tang Ka was surprised.

Ziwei looked at the direction of the bed, and saw what Jiang Xun was holding in his hand, his expression froze, and his tone was cold, and he said: "We are not familiar with the terrain of Dongchuan, and we don't even know where we are, not to mention how dangerous it is to go back, we have all seen the power of Qianbing Suo, even the copper skin and iron bone like Mao Zhuang, if you fall down, you can't get a whole corpse, not to mention his hand, even if you find it, it will definitely be cut into several pieces, and it is impossible to catch it when you take it back." ”

"Jiang Xun's self-healing ability is several times more than usual, I don't know how he did it before, but similar things are very likely to have been experienced in his past, and since he can recover at that time, we may be able to give it a try now." I said, "If there is hope, you have to try it to know if it works." ”

"I refuse." Ziwei said: "We have just escaped death, and there is no need to take any more risks because of such unrealistic ideas." ”

"Impractical?"

"If his self-healing ability is really that strong, at this time, his wounds should have begun to heal, and when we find all his broken arms piece by piece, and then find a way to put them together, his wound section may have been completely closed, how can we connect him at that time?"

Ziwei said: "And if we encounter that evil path again, the three of us will be defeated without even seeing each other's faces, and we will almost lose our lives, and none of us will know how much ability he himself has." ”

"Ziwei." I suddenly felt a chill and asked, "Didn't you fight him?" Alone, he didn't fall behind, and he destroyed half of his dolls? ”

Ziwei was stunned for a moment, and after a short period of inexplicability, his face turned pale for a moment, his eyes dodged, and his voice softened, "I...... I was disturbed by the shrill voice, and I have no memory of what happened. ”

"Really?" I don't believe it, Situ Yao clearly said that he was not disturbed by sound waves, the two are different, one must be a lie, but what good does Situ Yao do to lie to me with such words, Ziwei's reaction is not right.

"That, Shopkeeper Shen." Tang Kari said: "If you want to give it a try, do you have any plans?" Why don't we ask the people of the Situ family to help, their second young master saved us, and he should also be a powerful character. ”

I shook my head, "Before Jiang Xun woke up, it was better not to be known by others." ”

Tang Kari asked, "Why?" ”

"I can't say it clearly, I just think that Jiang Xun's ability is not a simple matter, if it is exposed to outsiders, our situation will be very passive."

Tang Kao nodded, I thought about it, and said to him: "When Lan Ruo comes back, I will ask her to take us out for a turn, while surveying the terrain, see the opportunity to act, if you can, buy some self-defense things and come back, and then find an opportunity to return to the boundary of that ravine." ”
