Chapter 7: The Puppet
The two returned to Qingyang City, came to a teahouse, and found a corner to sit down. "Xiao Er has a pot of tea. ”
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute. ”
"Brother Wang, where have you been looking for your wife in the past few days?" Lu Chenfeng untied the spear on his back and stood on the wall behind him, looking at Wang Po and asked.
"In the past few days, I have almost turned over Qingyang City, the Covering Sea Gang in the west of the city, the big knife club in the south of the city, and some small forces, I have walked all over again, except for the Chen family in the north of the city, where the masters are like clouds, I am powerless alone, but the Chen family should have nothing to do with this matter, I don't know if Brother Lu has heard of the Lingnan Chen family, this Lingnan Chen family operates shops, all over the rivers and lakes, the wealth of the family is all over the world, and the family is also a master like a cloud, the head of the Chen family, Chen Xingye, has also reached the realm of the grandmaster, except for the masters of several major factions, there are few enemies, and the Chen family master has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, so this matter should have nothing to do with the Chen family。 Wang Po nodded and analyzed.
"It turns out that the Lingnan Chen family is in this Qingyang City, I didn't expect the energy of this Chen family to be so great, no wonder Chen Lingling was in the acquired realm to be followed by a master like Wu Bo. It turned out to be a big business. Lu Chenfeng was a little surprised when he heard Wang Po's words, this Chen family was so powerful.
"Guest officer, the tea for the two of you is here, you can use it slowly. While the two were talking, the man from the teahouse came to them with a pot of tea.
"Little Er, I'll ask you about something. Lu Chenfeng looked at Xiao Er in front of him, thinking to himself that this teahouse comes and goes in and out of various rivers and lakes every day, maybe he knows some news. As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and threw it into the little second-hand.
"Oh, this lord, you are too polite, you said, as long as the little one knows, he will tell you. ”
"Has anything happened in this Qingyang City recently?" Lu Chenfeng asked with a smile as he looked at Xiao Er on the upper road.
"Hey, if you want to say that there is really something, recently there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes in this Qingyang City, I heard that it seems that a peerless secret book has been found somewhere in Lingnan, and many people from the rivers and lakes have rushed to fight for this secret book when they hear the training. The shopkeeper touched the silver and said to Lu Chenfeng with a flattering face.
"I also said that why there are so many people in Qingyang City, it turns out that it is because of this matter, I don't know if there is anything else going on?"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked around, took a step forward and approached Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po, and said in a voice that only the three of them could hear: "Recently, several young people have been found missing in Qingyang City, and I heard that there used to be mass graves under Qingyang City, and now the ghosts have come out to catch young men and women to absorb essence. Attached to the body, borrowed from the corpse to resurrect the soul. ”
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and continued: "There is a family whose son has been missing for seven days, and he was finally found in the area of Lingnan Boulder Mountain. When I found the man, I heard that the man's eyes were blood-red, his body was pale and dry, and he didn't know anyone and bit him, just like that zombie, many people worked together to subdue him, and the last fire was burned to ashes. ”
"Human puppet!" Wang Po on the side slapped the table and said in shock.
Lu Chenfeng looked at Wang Po who was shocked, waved his hand at the shopkeeper to signal that he could go down, turned his head to look at Wang Po and asked, "Brother Wang, what is this puppet you are talking about?"
Wang Po eased his senses, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, looked at Lu Chenfeng with a pair of frightened eyes and said: " More than ten years ago, there was a cult cult that specialized in sucking the qi and blood of living people as an introduction to practice evil skills, and then sucked the corpses into puppets with an evil method, these puppets had no consciousness and only obeyed the orders of their masters, they bit people when they saw them, and some puppets were extremely powerful if they were strong in their lives, and ordinary methods could not kill them at all, only to cut off their heads or burn them to ashes with fire. ”
Wang Po fell into deep fear and continued: "Back then, this cult used these puppets to destroy a lot of forces, and the Tianji Pavilion, which had not yet been destroyed, developed a kind of hidden weapon thunderbolt, which could ignite these puppets after detonation, and the major factions worked together to encircle and suppress this cult. Burned down this method of refining human puppets. But according to the description of the shopkeeper just now, it is clearly exactly the same as that puppet. ”
After Wang Po finished speaking, he slapped the table with both hands, "No! The black-robed man arrested two women that day, he must have something to do with that puppet, Qingqing was captured by him, and the consequences were unimaginable." I'll go find him. ”
"Brother Wang, don't be impatient, do you know where to find him? I think Qingqing's sister-in-law Jiren will be fine if she has her own natural appearance, and the shopkeeper said that the person who was found was found in the area of Boulder Mountain, and we can go there to see if there are any clues." Lu Chenfeng on the side grabbed Wang Po's shoulder and comforted.
"Okay, Brother Lu, listen to you, then let's go to Boulder Mountain," Wang Po eased up a little, and then got up with Lu Chenfeng and left to go to Boulder Mountain to find clues.
Boulder Mountain, as its name suggests, is full of boulders in the mountain, there are only scattered small branches around this huge stone, and two figures are shuttling quickly in Boulder Mountain, it is Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po.
"Brother Lu, you and I have been looking here for a day, but we haven't found anything suspicious. Wang Po looked at the endless boulder forest, and looked at Lu Chenfeng with some anxiety.
When Lu Chenfeng heard Wang Po's words, he looked at the boulders and was a little puzzled, "Could it be that the black-robed man's hiding place is not here?" But that person puppet appeared near here, is it a coincidence? Brother Wang, it's getting late, let's go back to Qingyang City first, and then think about it in the long run." ”
"Alas, that's the only way, I hope Qingqing is okay. Wang Po said disappointedly. Just as the two of them were about to leave, there was a sudden sound in the distance, and only a black figure with a person on his shoulder walked towards the depths of the boulder forest.
Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po glanced at each other, and without saying much, the two quickly followed behind the black-robed man.
The black-robed man walked to an open place, a huge stone stood in front of him, and he reached out and pressed it on a small stone on the right side of the boulder, boom, the boulder parted to both sides, and a step appeared in the ground, and the black-robed man observed left and right, and then walked down, and the two separate boulders merged with a bang.
"Brother Wang, is this black-robed man the one you met that day?" Lu Chenfeng looked at the boulder on the merger and turned his head to Wang Po and asked. "That's right, it's him, although they are all wearing black robes, but this person is the same body, I can't be mistaken. Wang Po on the side looked at the black-robed man who walked into the hole and said through gritted teeth.
"Well, Brother Wang, don't worry, let's take a look. After speaking, Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po jumped towards the boulder below, Lu Chenfeng surrounded the boulder and found the place where the black-robed man pressed it, and the rumbling sound sounded, the boulder separated to both sides, and the underground steps appeared, and the two quickly walked down the steps, it was dark, the steps were very high, the two didn't know how long they walked, and found a flash of light in the distance.
Seeing this, Wang Po reached out and untied the black box behind him, clicked, the box opened, and a wide giant knife lay calmly in it, this knife was eight inches wide, one foot five long, looking under the knife, it turned out to be a broken knife!
Wang Po stretched out his hand to grab the broken knife, looked at Lu Chenfeng and smiled: "This knife has been with me for many years, and I am not willing to change it when it is broken, so it is easy to use." Lu Chenfeng looked at the broken knife and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!"
The two continued to walk towards the depths, but they didn't expect that there was a hole in it! In a long corridor, rooms were lined up, and each room was very beautifully arranged, Lu Chenfeng entered a room next to him, and found that there was a person lying on the bed in the room, Lu Chenfeng hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to test the person's nose, but unfortunately, he had already lost his breath.
Just as Lu Chenfeng was inspecting the corpse, Wang Po found the same corpse in another room.
The two of them inspected the remaining rooms, and as expected, there was a corpse in each room, with a man and a woman lying peacefully on the bed.
"It seems that this is the hiding place of the black-robed man's refining puppet. ”
"Damn! This person has actually killed so many innocent people, Brother Lu, let's go inside to find the black-robed man, we must kill him!" Wang Po said with an angry face.
The two men clenched their weapons and walked deeper into the hallway, where a picture hung on the wall, showing a woman dressed in white, standing among a flower. A wooden pole stood diagonally on the wall on the side of the picture, Lu Chenfeng stretched out his hand to push the wooden pole, and a stone door on the side of the album slowly opened.
Inside the stone gate, the black-robed man was among them, and he saw that the black-robed man glanced at the two people at the door, ignored it, turned his head and reached out to stroke a female corpse on the bed in front of him, the female corpse's hands and feet were tied with ropes, and there was a wooden stick in her mouth, and she was struggling frantically, trying to get out of the restraints. "Shhh, Xiao Rou, don't panic, you see two more good medicinal herbs, soon, soon you will return to me." ”
Wang Po looked at the black-robed man, pointed at the black-robed man with a knife in his hand, and roared angrily: "Where is my Qingqing?"
The black-robed man turned around slowly, looking at the menacing Lu Chenfeng and Wang Po in front of him, without fear, a weird laugh came out of the black-robed man's mouth, he... Scold.. Ha ha. Then his right hand pointed to the dark place on the side: "The Qingqing you are talking about, is it her?"
Roar! A howl, just to see a figure in the dark quickly rushed out, Qingqing, that's right, it's Wang Po's wife Qingqing! At this time, Qingqing's face was pale, her blood-red eyes did not have a trace of emotion, she waved her hands and opened her mouth and rushed towards Wang Po quickly!
"No!" Wang Po looked at his wife, who had already become a puppet in front of him, and roared loudly. The hand broke and the knife fell to the ground. A tear slipped down his face.
Just when Qingqing, no, it should be a puppet who was about to bite Wang Po, Lu Chenfeng on the side stepped forward quickly and pulled Wang Po away.
