Gu Changan looked around the lobby and said in a low voice: "There are many people here, let's take a step to talk." ”

When the old puppet master heard this, his pupils dilated slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this son had already mastered some clues?

Immediately, he instructed the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy beside him: "Qiao'er, you go and collect those sixteen 'Shenshu Boxes', don't waste them." ”

"Yes, Master."

The young man Qiao'er immediately untied a cloth bag from his trouser belt, walked to the sixteen heavenly slave puppets that had been killed in the center of the hall, squatted on the ground, and touched the puppet's head with his hand.

I don't know what he pressed the bracket, and the puppet's head opened automatically, and then he took out an octahedral copper box the size of a fist, and a little ghost light emanated from the crack.

After putting the octahedral copper box into the cloth bag, he walked to the other Tianyi slave puppets, opened their heads one by one, and took out more octahedral copper boxes and stored them one by one.

Gu Changan had already heard of the puppeteer faction, and this octahedral "Shenshu box" was actually a bit similar to the CPU of a computer.

However, the difference is that the CPU of the computer is a collection of electronic circuits and electronic components, but the inside of the "Shenshu Box" is engraved with the ciphertext of the laws carefully studied by the puppeteers.

The "Pivot Box" has always been an untold secret for puppeteers.

However, in terms of basic principles, it is impossible to get rid of the Taoist set of "Tai Chi two instruments, four elephant gossip" of the simplest avenue.

For example, the eight sides on the "Shenshu Box" are carved with gossip symbols, symbolizing the eight images of heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and ze.

After Gu Changan opened a box in the adjacent window on the second floor, the old puppet master endured his unhappiness and asked, "Old man Yan Shidao, I don't know what you want to talk about when you invite the old man to come up?" ”

Of course, it's to get to the bottom of you...... Gu Changan maintained a thunderous smile: "The previous predecessors guessed correctly, I, Gu, were indeed born in a big family with a head and a face in Tiandu City, Guangming Temple is my left arm, Jin Luanwei is my right arm, Li Shu in the market is not in awe, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not intimidating."

"What's so hard to help you find out the whereabouts of a simulated puppet? But senior, if you don't completely cover the causes and consequences of this matter, I'm afraid that no matter how capable I am, I won't be able to help. ”

When Yan Shidao heard Guangming Temple and Jin Luanwei, he couldn't help but look at Gu Chang'an carefully, and thought in his heart: "It is said that Guangming Temple and Jin Luanwei are the right-hand men of the Daheng royal family, and they have great powers...... Could it be that this son is the prince and grandson of the current dynasty? ”

Then he couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuanzong who was sitting on the side, thinking of the extraordinary spirit of Fang Cai, the master and servant, the displeasure in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he suddenly gave birth to three points of respect.

So he solemnly clasped his fist at Gu Changan: "Our puppet master sect cultivates the way of yin and yang creation. For us, it is gratifying to improve each cultivation level, but what is even more gratifying is when we have exhausted our efforts and finally created a puppet immortal......

"According to the quality of the puppets created by our puppeteers, there are three grades: puppet slaves, puppet demons, and puppet immortals.

"Puppet slaves, but they are just leather and wood playthings, tangible and godless.

"Puppet demons, lifelike in appearance, both physical and spiritual.

"The puppet immortal is not only a magical appearance, but also a god who is one with the form, and most importantly, he has also given birth to spiritual wisdom!"

Gu Changan showed a look of approval: "According to what you say, those sixteen Tianyi slaves are just puppet demons, and the Cui Shutong you created is a puppet immortal." ”

Yan Shidao's eyes flashed with a trace of heat, and he said, "That's right! Every puppet fairy is a spirit rhino moves, and it is a magic hand, which can be met but not sought! Creating a puppet immortal is the lifelong wish of every puppeteer, but even so, the vast majority of puppeteers are beyond the reach of exhaustion in their lifetimes. What are the sixteen heavenly slaves? Even if there are a hundred bodies, they can't compare to a puppet fairy's fingers! ”

Listening to the other party's slightly excited words, Gu Changan secretly read the ancient book "Kyushu Scenery" in his mind.

This ancient book records many characteristics of the puppeteer system.

One of them was very surprising.

That is, the puppeteer's cultivation realm will significantly affect the function of the "Shenshu Box", that is, the ability to directly dominate the puppet, but it cannot affect the final quality of the puppet, and cannot decide whether it becomes a puppet slave, a puppet demon, or a puppet immortal.

What determines the final quality of a puppet, the skill of making a puppet is only the basic skill, but it is the puppeteer's "spiritual movement" that plays the role of turning stones into gold.

——It is similar to the "epiphany" when the monks of the Taoist and Buddhist schools break through the high realm.

And it's not just the puppeteer who eats the "Lingxi Yidong", but also the Confucian and Taoist pianos, chess, books, and paintings sometimes eat the "Lingxi Yidong".

Gu Changan followed the other party's topic and asked, "Then what's the matter with the puppet immortal Cui Shutong you created?" ”

Yan Shidao reminisced about the past, and his mood was complicated: "Cui Shutong, this puppet immortal, was made by me a year ago. I've been working hard for more than thirty years to make him.

"From the moment he was born, I felt that he was unlike any puppet I had ever made. Yes, he has a mind, just like a real living person! Even smarter than the average person!

"At first, he respectfully called me his master, but I gradually discovered that although he was gentle and friendly on the surface, he secretly had a terrifying ambition......

Gu Changan interrupted him expressionlessly: "If my guess is correct, he should be unwilling that you are a master, he is just a slave, so he is also doing some small experiments behind his back, such as he also wants to create a puppet immortal to prove that he is not worse than you?" ”

Master Yan was surprised and said: "Childe guessed eight or nine...... Childe, how did you find out? ”

Am I going to tell you that I've watched a lot of sci-fi movies in my last life...... Gu Chang'an smiled: "Because you are his creator, in order to prove that he is not worse than you, he himself is among the creators, which is the most irrefutable ironclad evidence." ”

Yan Shidao shook his head and sighed: "His ambition is probably like this, but his actual approach is even more appalling. ”

"What's so appalling?"

"He tried to refine a 'human puppet Gu' with a poisonous insect called corpse claw, so as to concoct a puppet from a living person, and he also called himself a self-created lineage, and he was the originator of the human puppet master."

Clawed ...... Gu Changan's hairs stood on end when he heard this, could it be that Zhao Sishui had been refined into a living puppet by Cui Shutong?
