It's not for nothing that Elder Guo said this. Making a puppet requires a large number of precious materials, and more importantly, it requires the maker to master a large number of basic immortal formations that are counted in tens of thousands.

As the core driving force of the puppet, the formation engraved inside the puppet is one of the most important components of the entire puppet. Like talisman-making, these formations are complex, and will be derived from countless variations depending on the type of puppet of each mechanism, and the more advanced and refined the formation, the stronger the mechanism beast.

Due to the number of them, ordinary immortal cultivators would not be able to master the basic formation in their lifetime, let alone the advanced formation, and of course, they would not be able to make a high-level puppet. These methods of controlling puppets created by the ancient sages are infinitely powerful and have great potential, but they are too difficult to master.

All the immortal formations in the bodies of all the trap beasts in Ranshi Village came from the hands of Elder Guo alone. Elder Guo is now in his eighties, and he has learned this craft since he was a child, and he can only make the most common kinds of trap beasts.

That's why Elder Guo felt guilty. In his opinion, letting Yang Xiu learn to make a trap beast is actually depriving Yang Xiu of his longevity in disguise, and now Yang Xiu is not able to quench his cultivation in the early stage of quenching, and he will only live for a hundred years if he is full.

If there is no high enough cultivation to support it, the craft of the puppet is tantamount to chronic poison, and many talented people waste too much time on it, and finally Shou Yuan dies depressed.

Only then did Yang Xiu understand why the high-level mechanism beasts were obviously very powerful and had a wide range of uses, but they didn't see anyone in the village learning from them. It turned out that it was because it was too difficult. However, after listening to Elder Guo's explanation, Yang Xiu waved his hand very generously, indicating that this was not a problem!

If you don't have the talent to control beasts, forget it. Is it still difficult for me to read classical books and learn knowledge?

The deal is done, and the guests and hosts are happy. Seeing Yang Xiu urging him to take out all the books related to the puppet, Elder Guo sighed and quickly complied. And Yang Xiu, who got the classics, also began to teach talisman making.

......

In the dark night, the cottage in Tieshan Village was brightly lit, and all men, women, and children in the village went out together, holding torches and climbing the wall. Look out intently.

The wolf howls one after another were terrible in the night, and it was very cautious to listen to. A faint green glow can be seen in the trees around the village. It was the wolves hiding in the darkness waiting for an opportunity.

Beyond the city walls, mutilated and bitten corpses were everywhere, and in the wilderness, every population was precious. They are all priceless treasures of the village. The wolves that raided in the middle of the night caused irreparable damage to Iron Mountain Village.

As the wolf howl faded away, the murderous roar in the forest slowly disappeared, and a monk who could fly with a sword went to check on the forest, sending a signal to confirm that the wolves had retreated, and everyone in Tieshan Village relaxed.

Some wept silently over the bodies of their loved ones, while many more began to scramble to clean up the pieces and prepare the burned-out walls and buildings.

Tie Dong hid in the corner of the village, looking at everything in front of him with fear, and his body couldn't help but tremble. The pale lips are frightening. If the Elder finds out the real reason for the wolf pack attack on Iron Mountain Village, there is only one culprit to blame, and that is to smear the blood of wild beasts and throw it into the swamp.

There the fierce beasts like to put delicious meat. For example, humans are fed to their young offspring, such as small crocodiles that can only bite a small piece of meat at a time, and small pythons that are entwined like earthworms.

"Tie Dong, come here, the elder is going to discuss things at the shrine!"

Someone shouted in the distance. When Tie Dong heard this, the look of fear in his eyes was even worse, and he even lost the courage to take a step.

※※※

The little dolls in Ranshi Village are very fond of Yang Xiu.

Although you have to learn to make those heavenly book like Tao talismans. But this outsider named Yang Huzi has a good temper, which is very different from the people in the village. The elders who used to be in charge of teaching the puppet art of the agency were all short-tempered, throwing things and scolding people at every turn, and everyone had the experience of being scolded and crying.

But Yang Xiu is different, he has a good temper and is patient, he explains to everyone over and over again, and he often sees him studying alone in his free time, which is very different from other adults in the village.

And Yang Xiu can also play tricks, he can always take out delicious candy from his arms from time to time, as if he can't finish it, and now the children of the whole village like to play with him, and Meng Lu is also very complacent, after all, this is the "trophy" he brought back.

It's a pity that the cultivation is a little worse, the white deer sword is okay to kill chickens, if you want to hunt real beasts, you still have to rely on sticks and hammers. And there is another thing that makes Meng Lu feel weird, Yang Xiu likes children to call him the homeroom teacher Teacher Yang.

What a strange name.

......

Yang Xiu spent a lot of time studying the classics related to the Trap Beast.

The content recorded in the book is very detailed, from the simplest mechanism of the little hen, to the glass bird that can fly into the sky, among which the seal carving technique of the Xianwen formation is really complicated.

The only thing that annoyed Yang Xiu was the materials of these trap beasts, all of which were rare and expensive. But it's better than nothing, as the old saying goes, if you lose the east corner of the harvest, since God is destined to not be able to control the spirit beast, then simply be a king of machines!

According to the agreement, Yang Xiu also began to teach everyone the art of talisman making step by step, and his life was dull and comfortable.

A few days later.

Yang Xiu sat in his room, staring at the things on the table with burning eyes, and his eyes could not hide his excitement.

A small cyan snake the thickness of a finger was entrenched on the table, looking up at Yang Xiu. However, if you look closely, you can find that the body of this little snake is made of pale cyan beads in series, and there is a small spirit stone in the stone bead on the head that emits a faint white light.

Yang Xiu poked his index finger out, and the little snake immediately crawled over and rubbed Yang Xiu's finger affectionately, and then skillfully wrapped Yang Xiu's finger.

This is the first puppet in Yang Xiu's life, named Xiaoqing.

This rudimentary-level puppet took Yang Xiu nearly half a month, and there was no need to say more about the complicated process, but fortunately, it finally succeeded.

Low-level golems can only be driven by spirit stones, and they are not powerful for a short time. High-level puppets also have spirit stones in their bodies, but they can use spirit stones as a medium to attract spiritual power between heaven and earth, which can fundamentally improve the strength of the puppet.

But if you want to make the best Trap Beast, there is one more indispensable thing - the Golem Essence. This kind of stone is extremely rare, and it is not well-known in the immortal cultivation world, and it is a key item for the puppet to have independent consciousness, and it is a priceless treasure for the puppeteer.

After all, a trap beast with the ability to act on its own is far from being comparable to a low-level puppet controlled by a human.

It seems necessary to go out and try your luck and see if you can find something like this. For Yang Xiu, it didn't take long to master the complex Immortal Formation Technique, all that was lacking was the necessary exercises, as well as various materials.

Putting away the little snake, Yang Xiu stepped out of the room.

It was time to teach talisman making again, and the enthusiasm of the villagers of Ranshi Village to learn talisman making far exceeded Yang Xiu's expectations. These people are not very talented in immortal literature, but they all stayed up all night to comprehend their memories, which made Yang Xiu, a teacher, very pleased.

I don't know what surprises these hard-working students can bring to me today.

Not a few steps away, there was a sudden noise at the gate of the village, Yang Xiu vaguely heard someone crying, frowned slightly and walked over quickly.

There were people in the crowd who were stained with blood and in a messy shape, and the wounds on the bodies of several young people were still gurgling and bleeding, and their arms and legs were broken, which was very terrifying. One of the most seriously injured was impaled in the lower abdomen and had passed out.

Several of them were students of Yang Xiu's teaching talisman making, and the children who were only teenagers were all bleeding at this time, crying silently in the arms of their parents, and the blood stained the placket of the adult's clothes. The voices of parents calling their children sadly rose and fell in the crowd, and people couldn't help but feel sad.

A group of children who were still jumping around yesterday were in such a miserable situation today, seeing this situation, Yang Xiu's eyes couldn't help but become cold.

Elder Guo also heard the voice and rushed over, and his face sank when he saw this situation.

Seeing the elder coming, someone immediately shouted, "Elder Guo! The people from Tieshan Village attacked us on the road and captured Menglu!"

They said that Monrou had stolen all the prey from the secret swamp and led the saber-toothed wolves to attack the village, killing many people in Iron Mountain. ”

"Monrou just justified a few words, and they just started it, using murderous weapons!"

Everyone talked about the situation at that time, and the source of the matter was immediately clear. Meng Lu meticulously followed the law of the jungle that Elder Guo had taught everyone, and he would definitely not steal all the prey of the saber-toothed wolves, the other party was deliberately making excuses!

Yang Xiu frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "The last time I came back with Menglu and met the people from Tieshan Village, they probably followed our wheel prints to find the meadow, will they ......?"

"Anyway, let's get Monrou back first,"

Elder Guo nodded, his face was heavy, and he commanded the people around him, "Choose the strongest warriors, you must not let Meng Lu have an accident!"

Everyone said yes and turned back to get their weapons, and Yang Xiu Chongguo said, "I'll go too." ”

Elder Guo nodded and hesitated, "You better not go, your cultivation is too low." ”

At this time, everyone's understanding of Yang Xiu's strength was still stuck in his miserable appearance when he was fished out of the trap by the trap, and the white deer sword that was as light as a dagger for a warrior in the wilderness, it was not surprising that Elder Guo had such questions.

Yang Xiu looked at Elder Guo and said solemnly, "It's okay, I'm measured." ”

A trace of solemnity flashed on Elder Guo's wrinkled face, he nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "The warriors of Tieshan Village are strong, if there are many people on the other side, don't fight hard, the most important thing is to bring Meng Lu back." ”

Yang Xiu nodded in response, went to the house and took the White Deer Sword, and went out of the gate with a group of villagers. (To be continued)
