Chapter 19: Trials
"Is this statue I got a puppet?"
Lin Yi wasn't sure.
In terms of appearance, the statue is too similar to the "puppet" described in the book, the appearance and shape are no different from those of a living person, and even make people feel a breath of life, and the inside of the body is reforged, not flesh and blood.
Lin Yi continued to scroll down to "The Chronicles of the Six Seas", and the second part is about some records of the origin and use of puppets.
The art of forging puppets undoubtedly comes from the ancient old era, and it is very old.
After the catastrophe, the plane was submerged by the sea flood and turned into an ocean, along with the skills and craftsmanship of ancient times.
Therefore, in the New Era, the craftsmen who could refine puppets were almost extinct, and only a handful of them were extinct.
Puppets are naturally rare.
If Lin Yi's guess is true, it is simply great luck.
The value of a puppet is by no means measurable by its essence or gold or silver, and it is never an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
Continuing to read, the book briefly records how to use it, and the first step is to ask the puppet to recognize the master.
The way to confess the Lord is the "blood confession" commonly used by monks.
For example, space rings, magic weapons, demon weapons, and even taming demon beasts are all used to recognize the master in this way.
Simple, but also functional.
Lin Yi first used the short blade to cut his fingers, and then used the spiritual power in the spiritual veins to urge and squeeze out the blood of forging essence in his body.
One drop.
Two drops.
According to the method in the book, the squeezed blood dripped into the puppet's eyes.
Lin Yi complied, carefully dripping two drops of blood into the old man's eyes.
Sure enough, there was a reaction.
The blood droplets dissolved, turning the old man's eyes bright red.
It looks like two red suns.
Lin Yi secretly urged his mind and skillfully began the contract of "dripping blood to recognize the Lord".
Soon, there was an extra "thread" in my head.
This thread is the source of the contract.
At one end of the line is Lin Yi's soul and mind, and at the other end is the thing that drips blood to recognize the Lord.
Between the two, an invisible induction arises from this.
"It worked!"
After dripping blood to recognize the master, Lin Yi obviously felt a trace of involvement with the statue, as if a strange organ had grown outside the body, as if there was nothing.
This made Lin Yi extremely surprised, because he could conclude that the statue of the old man in front of him was the "puppet" mentioned in the book, otherwise he would not have succeeded in recognizing the master.
After the blood is recognized, the next crucial step is to fill the puppet with the complete essence to provide energy and spiritual power to activate the puppet.
It just so happened that Lin Yi had collected a lot of essence from the palace and came in handy.
Whoa!
Lin Yi poured all the essence out of the ring and filled the cracks on the puppet's back one by one.
After a while, fifty or sixty yuan was filled, but it seemed to be a bottomless abyss inside, and no matter how much essence it was, it was swallowed cleanly.
Lin Yi was distressed.
The essence is more precious than gold and silver, and this time it will be filled with fifty or sixty yuan, if it is used for practice, at least half a month does not have to worry.
He gritted his teeth and filled in another forty pieces.
Eventually, the puppet's shell swelled, the crack in its back gradually closed, and its spine bulged like an iron rod.
"There's a response!"
Lin Yi's soul and mind had a sense of the puppet, so any change could be felt.
The puppet's breath grew stronger and stronger, like a heavy wave, pushing upwards.
When it reached its limit, the puppet's eyes suddenly blinked, and the essence burst out, reaching the sun and the moon.
At the same time, his arms and legs trembled slightly, swaying, and his body staggered to his feet, like a baby who had just learned to walk.
After getting used to it for a while, the puppet finally stabilized its figure, stood upright, stared at Lin Yi with a pair of eyes, and said, "Master!"
The voice that spoke was like that of an old man.
Lin Yi was surprised and delighted.
Shockingly, the puppet was really alive.
Happily, he got an extremely rare treasure.
Puppets of ancient times, how many can there be in the world today?
I'm afraid there are only a handful.
Lin Yi smiled and nodded, walked around the puppet, and observed carefully, except for the crack on his back that could not be completely closed, he could hardly see any flaws in his body, no different from a living person.
Of course, after wearing clothes, you can cover your back, and you won't be seen through.
That's great!
Since coming to this world, Lin Yi has always been alone, worrying and worrying all day long, but now that he finally has a reliable helper, he is naturally overjoyed.
"I don't know, what the strength is!"
Lin Yi was curious, casually pointed to a huge rock next to him, and ordered, "Lift it up!"
"Yes, master!"
The puppet obeyed, took two steps forward, and then neatly tied up a horse step, lifted his left hand, grabbed his right hand, and lifted the thousand-pound boulder above his head with a bang, like an overlord lifting a crown, it was easy.
Lin Yi was shocked, with the strength of his Great Realm, even if he used his strength, it was impossible to lift a boulder weighing a thousand catties, let alone so easily.
The power of the puppet is really not to be underestimated.
"Throw it down!"
Lin Yi ordered.
The puppet didn't say a word, and as soon as his arm was forced, the boulder flew out of his head, and smashed ten zhang away with a bang, shaking the earth three times.
Boy!
Lin Yi staggered, and then his face showed ecstasy.
This puppet has no bells and whistles, let alone exercises, but his brute strength is enough to compete with many masters, and Lin Yi estimates that even if he fights against the terrain, he can win.
With this bodyguard to protect himself, Lin Yi is not afraid, and when he goes to sea in the future, he is no longer afraid of encountering fierce demon beasts, let alone being killed by other monks.
"Something is wrong!"
While being happy, Lin Yi glanced at the back of the puppet, and found that the crack on it opened again, and when he looked inside, it was empty and empty, and the essence filled just now was a small half.
The smile on Lin Yi's face immediately froze.
He forgot one of the most important things, all the power of the puppet is provided by the essence, without the essence, the puppet is just a useless "dead corpse".
Just now, the puppet lifted a boulder and consumed twenty or thirty pieces of essence, which was terrifying.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world.
Although Lin Yi got a powerful helper, this helper was extremely terrifying for the consumption of essence, and with a casual shot, dozens of essences were squandered.
It's terrible!
It seems that puppets can't be used casually, and can only be used as talismans when they encounter a powerful opponent and live and die.
Otherwise, Lin Yi can't afford to supply it.
The essence of the painstaking collection had to be eaten by the puppets.
"That's it!"
Lin Yi quickly figured it out, it was great luck to get a puppet, and it was nothing to spend the essence.
At the critical moment, it can save his life.
Life is much more important than anything else.
"By the way, it's time to give the puppet a name. ”
Lin Yi scratched his head and meditated.
Since it is a killer feature, the name must be domineering and can bluff people.
If you give a name like "Li Ergou" and "Zhang Erdan", others can laugh to death when they hear it, where does it come from.
"Dragon Batian!"
"That's right, it's called Long Batian!"
Lin Yi has read some online novels on the earth, and immediately remembered the name of a "protagonist", who is domineering and strong enough, and he is a powerful character when he hears it.
