Chapter 24: The War Puppet

Those people each held tools in their hands, or wiped and wiped, or pruned branches, and turned a blind eye to Qu Wuming and others who entered the courtyard.

"Those people seem to ...... Aren't they real people? Tong Xiangyu looked at it and whispered.

"Well, those are puppets." Qu Wuming cautiously walked along a corridor, deliberately avoiding a nearby puppet, "It's just that the production is extremely exquisite, compared to the puppets of our Ten Directions Realm, it is simply a heaven and an underground. ”

Ding Xian told the Hou brothers in the back: "Don't provoke these puppets, now it seems that they ignore us, in case they suddenly rush over, we may not be able to fight." ”

Qu Wuming turned around and said, "Don't worry, if these puppets are used to defend against foreign enemies, I'm afraid they will have rushed over a long time ago." ”

"I don't know how long the garden and these puppets have been here, and it's amazing that everything is still the same. As if the kind of attack that had destroyed the city hadn't hurt the place. Tong Xiangyu said.

"These puppets are not living people, so naturally they will not be killed with a single blow like living people." Qu Wuming analyzed, "Besides, this cave is the center of the entire space, and its defense ability will naturally be the strongest, and the survival of the plants here is the best proof." ”

Soon, everyone passed through this garden and entered the second courtyard without any danger, and Qu Wuming's brows couldn't help frowning tightly.

His eyes fell on the puppet that fell to the ground in the second courtyard, and Qu Wuming said in a deep voice: "Wei Yixian has done it here. ”

I saw that the puppets here were dressed very differently from the front yard, tall and burly, all dressed in short clothes, full of a sense of power, if they stood with Qu Wuming and others, they seemed to be three points stronger than the burly and tall Qu Wuming!

If the puppets in the front yard are just servants doing the work, then these puppets should be the guardians of the courtyard.

It's just that these puppets seem to be asleep at the moment, lying on the ground horizontally, and each puppet has a golden talisman on its body, either on its forehead, or on its chest, shoulders, and some even on its buttocks.

"What kind of charm is this?" Ding Xian leaned slightly closer to a puppet and looked at it carefully.

"I'm afraid it's for the suppression of puppets." Qu Wuming said, "There is an ancient book that mentions that many puppets in the True Immortal Realm are based on the souls of living people or demon beasts, erasing their divine consciousness and then breaking into the puppets, and then controlling the puppet's every move through them. In addition to the fact that cultivation cannot be improved by cultivation, this kind of puppet, like ordinary people, can perform very complex tasks, and can also use various supernatural skills. ”

"It seems that Wei Yixian is prepared!" Ding Xian said in a deep voice.

"Wei Yixian ......" Qu Wuming said silently in his heart, "Who are you?" ”

"Since Wei Yixian has already given us a way, we will definitely be able to find him if we continue to move forward!" Hou Jinhai said.

"That's right! When I find him, I must ask clearly, why did we leave us and run away by ourselves, if we calculate Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will kill him! Hou Jinbo thought of his eldest brother who died tragically, and put the account on Wei Yixian's head, and said viciously.

The five of them walked cautiously in the second courtyard, not daring to touch the puppets on the ground.

If you want to say that this second courtyard, it does have its own differences.

In the middle of the courtyard is a succession of triple palaces, one is higher than one heavy, from the side, the three palaces are all with green jade as the step, white jade as the column, purple gold as the column, carved beams and painted columns, gilt cornices, magnificent.

On both sides of the triple hall, there are two rows of low houses, all of which are open at this time, and the number of them is exactly the same as that of the puppets in this place.

The door of the first hall has also been pushed open at this moment, and through the main entrance, you can see that the back door has also been opened, and a huge bronze tripod can be faintly seen, standing on the platform in front of the second hall.

Originally, on the left and right sides of the first hall, there were two tall statues of strange beasts, but at this moment, they had already broken into several pieces and scattered all over the ground. It can be vaguely seen that it seems to be a statue of a unicorn.

It's just that these two unicorn statues are all lifelike, and there are faint flashes of light among the fragments, and the breath is extraordinary. The jade pedestal under the statue is even more full of cracks, and it seems that it will completely crack if you touch it again.

"It looks like these two statues have been broken for a long time." Hou Jinhai is an expert in antiques, although he is not a cultivator, but he still sees some clues at a glance.

"These two statues may be the eyes of the protective prohibition in this heavy courtyard." Qu Wumingchao looked around and said, "When the original attack comes, the Guardian Forbidden Array will naturally be destroyed as soon as possible. I'm afraid that the body of these two statues is not stone at all, but two real unicorns that have been made into puppet-like statues. If you die, you can be considered liberated. ”

"What kind of immortal methods, I don't think it's much better than us tomb robbers." Hou Jinbo snorted and said.

"The True Immortal Realm is just a more suitable place for cultivation, and it's not a worldly realm, a paradise everywhere?" Ding Xian sneered, "I'm afraid the people there will fight even harder." ”

"Yes, where there are people, it is the rivers and lakes, and the same is true for immortals, ha......" Hou Jinhai said, stepping up the steps of the first palace.

Xu was a little faster in his movements, and the breeze and the vibration of his footsteps gently spread to the jade seat of a statue.

The jade seat was already full of cracks, and when it was blown by this breeze, it actually made a crisp sound of carding!

Everyone hurriedly stopped, and their spirits tensed.

Click!

There was a second sound from the jade seat.

Click!

The third sound sounded, and everyone felt a little bad in their hearts.

Click...... Crash!!

The jade seat finally cracked after a few sounds.

Fragments of white jade rolled to the ground, and a few of them were happily jumping and tumbling on the jade steps, making a crackling sound, and a puppet not far away bounced away.

"Not good!" Qu Wuming jumped out, the long sword in his hand reached out like lightning, and the strength of the two jade fragments fell to the ground with two swords, and then took two steps forward and stopped the third one.

However, by the time he tried to hit the last piece again, the piece of jade had already flicked lightly and smashed impartially on the talisman attached to the puppet's forehead!

The courtyard fell silent.

The talisman didn't fall, and the puppet didn't move!

Qu Wuming let out a long breath. I was about to walk away, but I heard a squeak of mechanical friction from another direction, and when I turned my head to look, I found that a puppet had already stood up!

"I ......" Hou Jinbo said in a trembling voice, "I accidentally took a step back just now and kicked a stone away, which happened to be ......"

"Get out of the way!" Hou Jinhai swung his knife and rushed over, slashing at the puppet's chest.

I saw that when Hou Jinbo was speaking, the puppet had already turned his palm into a knife and jumped into the back of Hou Jinbo's heart! Seeing that the palm was about to be stabbed, Hou Jinhai's knife had already slashed into the puppet's chest.

Hearing a loud bang, Hou Jinhai suddenly felt that his wrist was numb, the tiger's mouth was painful, and the long knife seemed to be cut on the iron plate! And the puppet's movements did not change at all, only a slight pause, and then continued to attack Hou Jinbo.

Hou Jinbo slumped his waist, then rolled on the spot, and then dodged this palm, and then turned around on the ground, and slashed the puppet's legs with the long knife in his hand.

Perhaps the puppet has not been activated for too long, or there is not much energy left inside, and the puppet does not seem to react too quickly. After missing the first blow, he did not continue to attack, but turned around and grabbed Hou Jinhai.

Hou Jinhai would catch it, dodged, and the long knife was raised, cutting the puppet's wrist.

Hearing only two bells, two sparks appeared where the long knives of the two people touched the puppet, but they didn't hurt the puppet at all! Hou Jinbo and Hou Jinhai were shocked by the soreness of their wrists, and they could barely hold the long knife.

The puppet didn't say anything, and slapped Hou Jinbo with his palm, and slapped him firmly on the shoulder.

Hearing a muffled sound, Hou Jinbo's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and the person screamed miserably, rolling out like a gourd rolling on the ground, hitting his head on another puppet, and rubbing the talisman attached to the puppet's face down.

The puppet, which had had closed its eyes, immediately opened its eyes, and a strange red light flashed in its sockets. Hou Jinbo and the puppet glanced at each other, so frightened that they forgot the pain for a while, and screamed.

However, the screaming only lasted for a moment, and the puppet's hands had already plunged into his chest with a pop, and then split left and right, forcibly tearing Hou Jinbo's chest in half!

"Your knives won't work!" Qu Wuming had also been killed at this time, and the long sword swept, and with a single sword, the head of the puppet that had just woken up was cut off.

On the other side, Tong Xiangyu had already made a move, cutting the first puppet into two sections!

"Third Brother !!" Hou Jinhai was heartbroken, and was about to pounce over, but he didn't expect that the puppet on the ground that had been cut into two knots could still move, and grabbed his ankle with a bang!

Hou Jinhai was so frightened that his hair stood on end, his ankle seemed to be caught by an iron hoop, and he couldn't move, he suddenly struggled, trying to pull his foot out, who knew that the puppet's hand strength was extremely big, only to hear a click, Hou Jinhai's ankle was pinched off alive!

"Ah......h

Tong Xiangyu was about to make a move to cut off the head of the half-puppet, but heard Ding Xian shouting on the side: "It's not good! I'm afraid those talismans are going to fail! ”

Tong Xiangyu and Qu Wuming hurriedly looked around, only to see that the talisman attached to the puppet was no longer golden at this time - the golden light on it had become extremely dim, flickering and flickering, I was afraid that it would soon be completely dim.

"Destroy a few more!" Qu Wuming shouted, took the lead in making a move, turned his sword into a knife and cut off the head of the nearest puppet beside him, and then rushed to another puppet next to him!

Tong Xiangyu and Ding Xiandao immediately took action when they heard this, and waved the long sword in their hands, and in a short time, they cut off the heads of more than ten puppets.

However, the total number of puppets in the courtyard was more than thirty, and before all three of them were "killed", the talismans attached to the remaining ten puppets had all dimmed.

Fifteen and six puppets had a strange red glow in their eyes at the same time, and they all stood up in a creaking noise.
