Chapter 156: "Male No. 3" Sword Puppet
Is this the Netherworld?
Li Xuefei opened her eyes with difficulty, only to feel that her whole body was sore and weak, and she wanted to struggle to get up, but she couldn't even use any strength.
As far as her eye could see, she tried to look around.
She soon realized that she was in a very small room, the bed under her was slightly shaking, and the roof and surrounding walls were made of wood, completely different from the legendary dungeon.
Am I not dead?
The thought came to her mind, and she began to take a closer look at her state.
The feeling of weakness still pervaded her body, but her hands and feet could already make some slight movements, and she struggled to move her arms, pushing her body up with the angle formed by the stamina and the pillow.
In this way, the vision immediately widened a lot.
Looking down, she found that she was not wearing the same clothes as when she fell into the water, but a gray coarse cloth shirt, judging from the size and shape, it should belong to the men's style.
Who is it?
The thought of having her clothes replaced made her frightened and turned her head to look to the right.
A slender man's back appeared in front of him.
The strange man, dressed in a brown robe, sat on a wooden bench with his back to her, his head drooping slightly, his body motionless, not knowing what he was doing.
"Ahem, ahem...!"
Li Xuefei was about to ask, but she felt an itch in her throat and couldn't help coughing.
When the man in brown heard the sound, he turned around, revealing a delicate but expressionless face: "Are you awake?"
His voice was good, but his tone was cold, and there was a sense of alienation that rejected people from thousands of miles away.
"Who are you? here... Ahem, ahem... Where is this?" asked Li Xuefei with difficulty.
"This is the fishing boat I bought, and it is currently docked on Yunbo Lake. The brown man's voice was still indifferent, "You are still very weak now, it is better to talk less and rest more." When I fished you up, you had been in the lake for so long that you were almost dying. ”
"Who changed the clothes on my body?" asked Li Xuefei nervously.
"It's the daughter of the fisherman's family on the boat next door. The man in brown replied truthfully, "I paid for it." ”
"Thank you for saving me. Li Xuefei's heart was relieved when she heard this, and then she remembered to thank the other party for saving her life.
"I just fished you up by accident, and it didn't take much effort to save you. The man in brown said lightly, "You can survive, it is completely dependent on your extraordinary physical fitness, if I guess correctly, you should be a young lady from a large family, never worry about snacks and clothing, and the nutrition is very sufficient." ”
"You're right, I've been in a good family since I was a child. Li Xuefei's mind inexplicably appeared the face of his father, Prince Li.
"Most of the children of the nobility really don't have common sense. The man in brown pointed to a silver sign on the table and said, "How can you go into the water with such a thing? No matter how good you are in the water, you can't surface it, and there is only one way to die." ”
"You don't have common sense. When Li Xuefei heard this, she suddenly became angry, "If it weren't for being murdered, whose woman would go out with such an ugly brand?"
Emotional, she couldn't help but speak a little faster, and she didn't cough anymore.
"I see. The man in brown looked stunned and said no more.
There was silence in the cabin, and the air was slightly awkward.
"Don't you wonder who murdered me?" Li Xuefei has a lively temperament, and she is a little unbearable for such an atmosphere, and she can't help but take the initiative to provoke the topic.
"Who is trying to kill you?" asked the brown-clad man mechanically, completely uncurious.
"Have you ever heard of 'Amorous Son' Xiao Ruthless?"
"I know that he is the tenth person on the list of heroes and heroes. The brown man nodded.
"Your message is outdated, and now he's been kicked out of the top 10 and in 11th place. ”
"Perhaps, I used to have access to this kind of information in a timely manner, but now I don't pay much attention to it. The brown man shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then asked, "Is he your enemy?"
"He used to be the person I loved the most. Li Xuefei's face showed a gloomy color, and she told the grudge and hatred between herself and Xiao Wurui.
She met the man in brown Pingshui, but she revealed the secrets and dishes in her heart, she was really depressed in her heart, and she felt panicked when she didn't find someone to talk to.
People are sometimes like this, they don't want to confide in the people around them, but they will talk to a stranger who has nothing to do with for a long time.
The man in brown just listened quietly, and did not express his opinions and comments, and only after Li Xuefei finished pouring out did he ask softly, "What are you going to do next?"
"What I entrusted to me is not a person, and now I am a broken flower and a willow, and after I go back to show my father and kill Xiao Wuzhi's hatred, I will stop myself. Li Xuefei's eyes were hollow, and she felt like her heart was dead.
"You don't lack money, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and your limbs are complete, and it's time to start a new life after revenge. The man in brown was puzzled, "What is a good person looking for death?"
"I'm already like this, who will want to marry me in the future? Li Xuefei said sadly, with tears faintly in the corners of her eyes, "Continuing to live is just a shame for my parents." ”
"I really don't know how you noble children have their brains. For the first time, the man in brown expressed his inner thoughts, "If you are better off with a man, you can't marry someone else?" Besides, even if you don't marry, what if you don't marry, do your parents have such a heavy face?"
Li Xuefei looked at the man in brown in surprise, feeling that she couldn't keep up with his brain circuits at all.
"Do you know how many people in the world don't even have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes? The man in brown continued, "How many women often sell their bodies, just to live to see the sun the next morning?"
"I..." Li Xuefei wanted to speak and stopped, she grew up in the palace, and her scope of knowledge was limited to the imperial capital, and she really didn't know much about the people's sufferings outside.
"Others sell their dignity, their bodies, and even their conscience, and you want to abandon them casually, and the thoughts of the children of the nobility are really incomprehensible. The man in brown spoke with condemnation and criticism, but his voice was still cold and emotionless, "But this is your own choice, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Since she was a child, the county lord of Bixiao had been reprimanded like this, but in the face of the brown-clothed man in front of her, she didn't feel too much anger, just lowered her head and pondered.
Seeing Li Xuefei's silence, the man in brown probably realized that his words were a little heavy, and tried his best to make his voice softer: "You are too weak now, don't think too much, just rest for two days." ”
However, his efforts clearly did not bear fruit, and his voice still seemed cold and indifferent as it came out of his throat.
Seeing that she didn't answer, the man in brown turned around and sat down again.
Li Xuefei's faint voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Dare to ask Engongzun's surname?"
"Maple. ”
He replied without looking back.
It turns out that this is the so-called "Sword Golem Pavilion"!
Zhong Wen looked at a low-level house with a dilapidated exterior wall that stood opposite the Library Pavilion of the Floating Flower Palace, and felt as if he had discovered a new world.
Pushing the door in, a simple shape and rough workmanship of wooden people appeared in front of him.
"This is the 'sword puppet'?"
Zhong Wen looked at the scarecrow-like "sword puppet", and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"That's right, the strength of a sword puppet here is about equivalent to a cultivator at the third level of the human wheel. Liu Qiqi said as he walked to the wall with two long white legs, and reached out to break a wooden pole on the wall.
"Boom!"
More than a dozen puppeteers scattered in the house moved at the same time, each holding a "sword" made of wood in their hands, and stabbed at Zhong Wen and the others one after another.
Zhong Wen casually clicked out a "Yang Finger", and the dazzling aura instantly blew one of the sword puppets to pieces, scattering wood chips all over the ground.
"So fragile?" he said with some surprise, "Aren't sword golems used to practice fighting?"
"The sword puppet is made of wood, and it can only be used to feed the moves, where can it withstand the spiritual bombardment of you, the master of the Heavenly Wheel?" Liu Qiqi said with a hint of reproach in his tone, "Even if these are a few, I heard that the ancestor spent a lot of effort to ask someone to make them, and now there are fewer and fewer people who know how to learn puppetry." ”
"It's okay, others don't understand, I understand. Zhong Wen said with a smile, "I'm sure to give you a better 'Sword Puppet Pavilion'." ”
"In fact, it doesn't matter if you cultivate well or not, these sword puppets are too weak after all, and they can only perform the most basic swordsmanship, and there is no point in practicing them. Liu Qiqi shook his head, "It's just that looking at them, you can recall the years when you were a child, and if you want to throw them away directly, you always feel a little reluctant." ”
"Xiaowan, come over and help!" Zhong Wen smiled slightly, and began to arouse Shen Xiaowan, the first "coolie" of the Floating Flower Palace.
"Hey!" I don't know if it's because of the large amount of food in the Floating Flower Palace, Shen Xiaowan is not only much more luddy than when Zhong Wengang met her, but her body curve is also faintly more undulating, and she seems to be going through an important stage of transition from Lori to a girl.
Zhong Wen took out various materials from the ring and spread them out in the Sword Golem Pavilion.
Ebony, white orchid, stainless steel......
"Xiaowan, refine all these materials into the shapes I painted. Zhong Wen flipped through the books on puppet refining in Thunder Sound Valley in his mind, "Qiqi, you can also help assemble it later." ”
Soon, the forging sound of "ping pong bang" began to be heard in the sword puppet pavilion.
Zhong Wen lazily commanded Liu Qiqi and Shen Xiaowan to hurry forward, but he just moved his mouth, and from time to time took out some food from the ring to treat the two girls, and after about an hour of tossing, a new type of black and white sword puppet with a powerful shape appeared in front of the three of them.
What a beautiful sword puppet!
Liu Qiqi couldn't help but admire in his heart, if the original wooden puppet is compared to a dragon set, then how can the shape of this puppet be ranked as the "male No. 3" in the novel.
"Wait a minute. Zhong Wen took out the spirit pattern pen and drew it on the body of the "Male No. 3" sword puppet.
At this time, a powerful momentum came from outside the house, draining a large part of the spiritual energy in the entire compound, and even Zhong Wen and the others who were in the room could clearly feel the change in the concentration of spiritual power.
"It's ...... Senior sister?" Liu Qiqi raised his eyes and looked outside the house.
"It should be Sister Nangong who is advancing to the Heavenly Wheel. ”
Zhong Wen was unmoved, still calmly drawing the spirit pattern.
