Chapter 349: Great Honor and Supreme Glory
"Click......"
With a small cracking sound, the bodies of the two black golems suddenly shook.
Shen Yun took two steps back vigilantly.
The sound became denser and denser, and the puppets trembled more and more intensely. Within three breaths, they fell backwards to the ground in unison.
"Whew-", the stone skin that had fallen to the ground earlier was smashed into the air.
What is the situation? Seeing the flying dust and debris rising, Shen Yun put Qingshuang across his chest and took three steps back one after another.
It was too late, and the two black figures rose from the dust in unison.
I know it's not that simple!
Shen Yun did not show weakness, Qingshuang waved, sacrificed the word "sweep", and swept towards the two black shadows at his waist.
"Zheng-", the sword light was like a green rainbow, cutting off the raised dust curtain, and rushing sharply towards the two figures.
Their reaction was also overwhelming, and they spread their arms in mid-air, struck their bodies horizontally, and flew backwards in unison to avoid the sword light.
Unfortunately, less than five paces behind them was the closed vermilion lacquer gate.
Therefore, immediately after, Shen Yun heard two not-so-light dull sounds from the dust.
After about two breaths, the dust settled.
He saw that the two upper bodies were next to the vermilion lacquer gate, kneeling motionlessly on the threshold.
Absolutely not mistaken. They were as shrunken as if they were about the size of a grown man.
What exactly happened to them just now?
Holding Qingshuang tightly, Shen Yunhu stepped forward suspiciously.
At that moment, the two puppets raised their faces in unison.
Shen Yun saw it clearly, and immediately stopped under his feet.
This is definitely not the face of those two puppets just now. There is no stiff face, no black hole in the eye sockets, and the face is delicate...... It was clearly the faces of two adult men.
But the face shape, eyebrows and eyes are the same, which proves that there is no drop in the bag.
"You ......," he asked, alertly holding Qingshuang across his chest.
The two of them looked up, but they both lowered their eyes, and they spit out a word clearly from their mouths together, interrupting: "Serve!"
"Bang la", a familiar voice came from overhead.
Shen Yun stared intently at the two "puppets" who spoke, caught the golden Jinpa with Qingshuang, and unfolded it to see.
It reads: Congratulations on subduing the two gatekeeper puppets.
What a puppet!
Shen Yun's heart was shocked, and he looked these two up and down again in disbelief.
At this moment, they sat on their knees, no different from two living people.
Thinking that since they had spoken in person, and Jinpa had approved of it, he tried to ask, "Can you speak?"
"Yes. The one with the spear replied.
Shen Yun couldn't help but feel numb in his back. Because he felt that he might have guessed correctly again this time - before, he had seen two very human expressions on the faces of the two puppets twice, so he guessed in his heart whether these were two human puppets.
Regarding human puppets, he had seen relevant records in the jade slips left by Xuan Qingzi, which were a kind of high-level puppetry. However, Xuan Qingzi himself can be said to hate this and denounce it as "an evil art handed down from ancient times".
After Shen Yun saw the refining method of the human puppet, he also agreed with Xuan Qingzi's point of view very much.
It's so wicked!
The first step in making a puppet is to immediately extract the three souls and seven spirits when the person is about to die but not dead, and seal them in a special "soul refining bottle" first, and then remove the organs and seal them separately. All the flesh and blood are removed, ground into minced meat, and put into special clay, and sealed; then, the skeleton is completely dismantled and soaked for 7749 days; on the 49th day, the bones, organs, and clay are taken out, the body is reshaped, and refined; finally, when the puppet's body is refined, the soul refining bottle is opened, and the corresponding soul is separated according to actual needs, and the corresponding soul is inserted into the body. The puppet is done.
The figure of the puppet that comes out of this can be either a giant or a very small one. And because there is still a trace of remnant souls, they don't need to be driven by "heart stones". At the same time, it is precisely because of this remnant soul that they retain some of their temperament and skills before their death. As for whether or not to remember the events of his life, it all depends on the will of the refiner.
This technique originated in antiquity. In fact, the corpse cultivation of later generations originated from it. Corpse cultivation is an evil cultivation, this is the consensus of the cultivation world, and Shen Yun also raised his hand in agreement. Yes, Shen Yun thought that this was a great sin of human puppetry.
Secondly, when a person is about to die but is not dead, the degree of suffering of the soul can be imagined. Another great sin;
And Shen Yun believes that the biggest evil of this technique is to refine the soul and trap it in the puppet's body, and it will never be able to live in peace.
After being a mortal for so many years, his mind still can't get rid of some of the thoughts of mortals. For example, the dead are greater, and for example, if you are a hundred dead, you should not disturb the peace of the deceased.
And human puppetry almost violates these taboos.
Yes, seeing that Xuan Qingzi was vague in many places, although he felt strange, he was unusual, and did not stop to ponder. In the end, when I read in the last batch of Xuan Qingzi, "This evil art has been lost, fortunately", I felt refreshed for no reason, and I couldn't help but say that I was happy.
A wicked way like this should be cut off and lost. so as not to harm anyone.
However, he never expected to see two human puppets outside the gate of the Heavenly God Sacrifice Temple.
After knowing this fact, Shen Yun looked at the vermilion lacquer gate in front of him again, and there was only disgust and deep disgust in his heart.
Suddenly, he didn't want to go in at all.
But after thinking about it again, even what I saw with my own eyes may not be true, not to mention, the human puppet technique has long been lost, and the records of Xuan Qingzi's predecessors on the human puppet technique in the jade slip are all from listening to one sentence from the east, copying one sentence from the west, plus their own opinions, and it is pieced together. Could there be some misunderstanding here? It's really hard to say.
Now that I see a real human puppet, it can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, how can I ask for clarity?
After all, evil is a man's puppetry, and it is the people who create it, as well as the refiners, who commit the unpardonable sin. And the two puppets in front of them are just victims, and they can't help them for the sake of the tiger.
Thinking of this, Shen Yun put away his distracting thoughts and asked, "Are you human puppets?"
The two puppets looked at each other, nodded in unison, and replied, "Exactly." ”
Seeing that they behaved no different from living people, Shen Yun's anger and compassion in his heart were even worse, and he glanced at the vermilion lacquer gate behind them again, and asked in a deep voice, "Who harmed you?"
If it was the so-called gods in it, then he immediately turned around and left.
Such evil people are heinous in their crimes, and even if they have great reasons, they cannot hide their evil nature. If it touches even a little bit, it is depraved and unforgivable for him.
That's the bottom line!
But he never thought that the faces of the two puppets showed inexplicable looks. The one with the spear replied, "No one has harmed us." ”
The big hammer said, "This is a great honor and supreme glory bestowed by the gods. ”
