Chapter 173: An Impenetrable Trap

On the Yuesen Continent, the puppet master is a very rare way of cultivating.

It is said that the earliest puppet technique was introduced from the central Minlan Continent, and then, there were scattered cultivators on the Yuesen Continent, but the practice of puppetry did not make progress for personal cultivation, so many people only regarded puppetry as an auxiliary means of combat similar to alchemy, and no one specially established a school for this purpose to study this technique.

This is the first time that Monk Chen has seen someone manipulate a puppet.

When the two puppet cows were placed on the ground, they were only the size of palms, and they looked like elegant ornaments on the desks of literati, but as the clouds chanted spells and urged spells, the two puppets quickly grew in size like inflatable dolls.

After a while, the two puppet oxen became as tall as elephants. Immediately afterwards, with a wave of the clouds, two puppet cows rushed towards the Chen family's vegetable garden with rumbling footsteps...... You can guess what the clouds want to do.

Granny Chen and Mrs. Chen couldn't stop it, Granny Chen wanted to turn her head and look when she heard the movement behind her, Chen Feng waved her hand, and a monk surnamed Chen next to her immediately pressed Granny Chen's shoulder.

With the ability of immortals, Granny Chen, a mortal, could not resist at all.

Chen Feng immediately signaled to his companion to take Granny Chen away, so as not to cause any extraneous branches. While keeping up with the clouds, he reminded his companion lightly: "It is better to demolish a house than to demolish someone." Yun Zhenren is full of anger now, he must give people a chance to vent his anger, Mama Chen, you cast the arsenic, now no one asks about this, please settle down. ”

The clouds went very fast, the Chen family's vegetable garden and the Yun family's compound. Not far away in the case of the immortal family spell that is, in a few steps yun duo was already standing at the door of the yun family compound he turned his head to look back at the chen family vegetable garden at this time. The direction of the Chen's vegetable garden was dusty, and two puppet bulls were rampage there, and the walls of the houses collapsed everywhere they went, making a lot of movement.

And that's not all. Yun Duo was still unwilling, he took out a gourd from his body, carefully unscrewed the mouth of the gourd, and a wisp of golden smoke came out of the gourd, and waited until it flew away from the mouth of the gourd. The smoke and dust gradually changed, revealing several ants the size of thumbs, these ants had two pairs of wings, the wings were translucent, and the speed of the flapping was so fast that people could only see the golden light of the ants dancing, and could not see the specific shape of the wings.

Chen Feng quickly searched for the name of this thing in his mind, and suddenly remembered a similar thing. He was startled and blurted out, "Gold Eater Ant?"

The clouds give a thumbs up. Praised: "That's right, you know the goods very well, this is the ninth of the top ten fierce beasts to eat the gold ant." ”

After that, the cloud whispered something that everyone didn't understand, and a gold-devouring ant in the air flapped its wings. With a buzz, he led the rest of the gold-devouring ants to fly towards the Chen family's mansion.

Chen Feng whispered to himself: "I have only heard of the name Gold Devouring Ant before, and I have seen the portrait of the Gold Devouring Ant on the Hundred Beast Map, but ...... This is the first time I have seen the appearance of a gold-eating ant. I heard that the gold eater ant is extremely ferocious, and he is particularly fond of the devouring lord, and it is rumored that the last monk who fiddled with the gold eater ant was ...... more than two hundred years ago."

Chen Feng swallowed the name of the last owner of the gold-eating ant, because he thought of another important question - the legend of the gold-eating ant is that the minerals in the soil will be consumed where the gold-eating ant stays, and then the land will ...... Barren.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to pick up the feces excreted by the gold-eater ants in that land, those feces will be the best refining materials, because these dungs are heavy metals that the gold-eater ants cannot digest, and they are extremely rare and rare.

However, for this last point, Chen Feng just thought about it. Now that Yun Duo is the owner of the Gold Eater Ant, will he let people pick up the gold eater ant's droppings?

Think about it to know the answer.

"Not a single inch of grass grows, the gold-devouring ants do not grow a single inch of grass, the Chen family's vegetable garden, don't think about growing vegetables in a thousand years......", Chen Feng muttered this answer, but he only dared to pretend to talk to himself, and he muttered for a while, but he didn't dare to protest to the clouds.

The ancestor and a Jindan monk were all killed by this person, and he was a concubine who had no autonomy, so he still followed behind others and listened to others' orders to do things.

What he said just now, Chen Feng also muttered with the divine sense between the immortals, he didn't dare to say the answer in a language that mortals could understand, he was afraid that Mama Chen, hearing the answer, would make something unstoppable.

At this time, the ancestral house of the Chen family in Shanggu City had become a pot of porridge, and a monk of the Chen family who got up early found that his house could not enter and exit, so he quickly notified the head of the Chen family at that time. The head of the Chen family sounded the alarm, gathered the monks to discuss, and continued to try to get out of the ancestral house, and at this moment, the old man and old lady who collected the night incense, holding the token, entered the gate of the Chen family's ancestral house.

The Chen family has never been a good person, after the old man and the old lady entered the gate, their hearts trembled, and the Chen family monk saw the old couple, and the faint light emitted by the token in their hands, and the clouds dispersed everywhere they went. The third son of the Chen family's family hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the Chen family's guards from stepping forward, he looked the old couple up and down, feeling that the other party did not have any aura.

A servant came over next to him and reminded him quietly: "Third son, I know this old man and old lady, who are responsible for collecting night incense in the city, and have been doing this business in Shanggu City for more than 20 years, and they collect the night incense in the house." ”

The third prince stared at the pass token in the old man's and old lady's hand, and he asked with a serious expression: "Duh, where did the things in your hands come from?"

The old woman trembled like a leaf in the wind, the old man was still conscious, he blocked the old lady behind him, explained the situation in a low voice, and then hurriedly handed over the sound jade slip: "That immortal, that immortal is outside the door......"

"Okay" The third prince broke off and stopped the old man's words.

The third prince didn't go to pick up the sound of the jade slip in person, he nodded with his chin, let the people around him take the jade slip for inspection, and then asked: "You mean, you passed through the street and found that my house suddenly became a big lake, and there were two immortals standing in front of the big lake, a man and a woman, and these immortals asked you to send in a piece of jade slip, and then gave you a pass token?"

The old man nodded timidly.

The third prince nodded his chin, and a person immediately rushed out next to him, snatching the pass token from the old man and the old lady's hand. After this person checked the pass token, he passed it to the third son. At this time, the monk who inspected the Transmission Jade Slip also finished his work and handed the Transmission Jade Slip to the third prince, while explaining: "It is an ordinary Transmission Jade Slip, without any special features. ”

The third prince took the sound transmission jade and looked at it. Immediately urged the spiritual power to knock on the sound of the jade slip - at this time, at the west gate of Shanggu City, the soldiers guarding the gate were curiously passing the jade slip to each other, and they were amazed at the magic of the immortal magic weapon - many people have never touched the magic weapon of the immortal family in their lives, and now, this magic weapon can be held in the palm of their hand, which is really amazing.

At this moment, the sound transmission jade jian suddenly let out a long cicada chirp, and then followed. The voice of the third son of the Chen family appeared: "Who is outside, please reply when you hear it." ”

When the voice sounded, the sound transmission jade Jane just passed to a little soldier, the little soldier was startled, the sound transmission jade Jane was dropped to the ground by his hand, Yu Jian jumped twice on the ground, lying quietly in the dust.

The soldiers of the West Gate looked at each other and listened to the voice of the third prince coming from the jade slip. But none of them dared to step forward and pick up the jade slip.

The third son called several times in a row, but did not get a reply. He shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "It's strange, the people outside deliberately sent in the sound transmission jade slip, but they didn't answer my words, really...... The faint-hearted. ”

After that, the third prince pointed to the two old couples who collected the night incense: "Detain them." Wait for me to inform my grandfather. ”

After walking a few steps, the third prince immediately stopped and added: "Delicious food and drink, give them some change, don't be lazy." ”

The third prince didn't care about the life and death of this mortal pair. But he also knew the temper of the house slave, and was worried that if he didn't give a word, the house slave would torture and torture the old couple. The old couple were mortals, and if the slaves accidentally killed them, and he didn't fully understand the situation, when the grandfather remembered what was missing, there was no one to ask.

The third prince has not forgotten that the Chen family's mansion has been closed, and now people can't enter or leave, and the only way to contact the outside world is the sound transmission jade slip sent in by the old couple.

The current patriarch of the Chen clan is named Chen Zhongda, who is currently one hundred and thirty years old, and the third prince is his most valued great-great-grandson, after receiving the report of the third prince, Chen Zhongda closed his eyes, deliberated for a moment, opened his eyes and asked: "Where is the Tianfu Gate, is there any new news?"

The third prince shook his head: "Last night, our people came back from outside the city, and immediately went to the Golden Mountain Gate to investigate the news, and I heard that the five major sects of the Golden Mountain Gate are holding a meeting behind closed doors, and the council hall is heavily guarded, and our people can't enter."

According to the reports of the people who came back, the people who participated in the discussion were all the heads of the sect and the first in the sect, and our people in the Tianfu Sect ...... The rest was not enough, and he entered the council hall. ”

Chen Zhongda closed his eyes for a moment and asked again, "This morning, is there any new news coming back?"

The third prince replied quickly: "No, oh, it should be said that since last night, our Chen Mansion has been a little abnormal, I heard that the people on duty at night did not hear the barking of dogs on the street, and in the second half of the night, they can't even see the stars in the sky - you know, tonight is the beginning of the month, and the stars should be exceptionally bright." ”

Chen Zhongda immediately asked: "Why didn't anyone report such an important situation last night?"

The third prince shook his head: "It's all the Yun family's trouble, and the people in the house are panicking, and they are all talking about what my Chen family should do after the fall of Chen Laozu, and everyone's mind is not on the post......"

The third prince lowered his eyes and confessed: "Great-grandfather, to be honest, I was also absent-minded last night, our ancestor has fallen, is there still a chance for our family to rise?"

Chen Zhongda thought for a while and shook his head silently: "There are more than ten Xiuzhen families in Shanggu City, and six of them have Jindan Ancestor, and our Ancestor has fallen, so he can only retreat from the first-class family helplessly. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhongda let out a long sigh and immediately added: "It's good to be able to retire from a first-class family, others are afraid that Chen Laozu has fallen, but the wealth he has accumulated has not been taken away, and it is all left within the Chen family compound...... Therefore, if our family wants to retreat from the whole body, I am afraid that we will have to pay a lot of price. ”

Chen Zhongda shook his head and added sadly: "As soon as I heard that Chen Laozu had fallen, I immediately suppressed the voice of revenge, alas, the current enemy of our family is not the Yun family. If you can't get it right, if our family wants to retreat from the whole body, we have to rely on the support of the Yun family. If Chen Sheng's kid can get the Yun family's understanding, everything is easy to say, otherwise, Chen Sheng, it is not a pity to die. ”

The corners of the third son's mouth were crooked. He wanted to remind his great-grandfather that Chen Sheng had deceived the spirit stone from Sister Yun, and the Chen family had also spent a large part of it, but ...... People always do shameless things on their own hands, but they are afraid of being pointed out by others to be shameless, so the third prince turned those reminders in his mind and immediately reversed the topic.

"Great-grandfather. You say, what is his intention when the person outside sent in a piece of sound transmission jade?"

Chen Zhongda waved his hand: "Have you asked those people who went to the Yun family's compound yesterday...... There is no need to verify it, the man and the woman outside, the man must be Yun Gongzi, I heard that he took over the Tianzhu Great Array laid by Chaoyue Zhenren as soon as he stretched out his hand, and in the entire Shanggu City, only he has the ability. A large trap was set up overnight, trapping my Chen family in the house. ”

The third prince raised the sound transmission jade slip in his hand. Asked: "This Yun Gongzi set up a big array and besieged us in the mansion, but he sent this sound transmission jade slip, what does he want to do?"

Chen Zhongda patted the armrest of the chair: "What's the worry, this should be a good thing, I guess this Yun Gongzi is in a difficult position." It is not for my Chen family to interfere with him to take revenge, as for sending the sound transmission jade slip...... Haha, my Chen family was saved, and Yun Gongzi wanted to reconcile with us, so he sent in the sound transmission jade slip. ”

The third prince reminded cautiously: "I just shouted with the sound transmission jade Jane. Didn't get any response. ”

Chen Zhongda gestured with his eyes, and the third prince raised the jade slip again, and shouted: "Who is outside, please answer when you hear it...... Is Yun Gongzi here, I am Chen Sangongzi, the next generation of the young sect master of the Chen family, Yun Gongzi, are you there? Yun Zhenren, please answer. ”

At this time, the piece of sound-transmitting jade slip was still lying in the city gate hole of the west gate of Shanggu City, but at this time, the sky was already very bright, and some monks passed through the city gate cave and found that the soldiers guarding the city gate were in a circle, and there was a sound-transmitting jade slip lying on the ground in the circle, and the sound-transmitting jade slip kept making sounds, but the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do - they had no aura on their bodies and could not activate the sound-transmitting jade slip.

The city gate cave became more and more congested, and at this time, finally a monk couldn't stand it anymore, he stepped forward and carefully picked up the jade slip of transmission, and entered a trace of aura into the jade slip, and then responded: "Chen Sangongzi, it is ...... below."

Who the other party was, Chen Sangongzi didn't bother to know, he hurriedly asked the question he was most interested in: "Where is this pair of sound transmission jade slips now, and how did you get this pair of sound transmission jade slips?"

The monk in charge of answering turned his eyes to the soldier who was holding the West Gate, and the soldier who had taken the cloud jade slip stepped forward and told his story: "Early this morning, I just opened the city gate, there was a man and a woman, two monks, passing by the West Gate, the handsome man and the charming woman ......"

Chen Sangongzi immediately interrupted the soldier's speech, he described the appearance of the clouds, and then asked: "Is that man's appearance like this?"

The soldiers defending the city nodded frequently, but Chen Sangongzi couldn't see the action of nodding, so the monk in charge of answering had no choice but to carefully convey the aura and maintain Yu Jian's conversation, while interjecting to explain: "Chen Sangongzi, the soldiers guarding the city nodded just now, and that male cultivator really looks like this." ”

Chen Sangongzi closed the call, turned his gaze to the patriarch Chen Zhongda, and asked, "Great-grandfather, what does this mean?"

Chen Zhongda thought for a while, and said to himself: "Why did he leave? Shouldn't he stay outside the mansion and wait for a conversation with us? How can he leave halfway? ”

After thinking about it, Chen Zhongda ordered: "Ask him, what has happened to the Golden Mountain Gate recently?"

Chen Sangongzi turned on the sound transmission jade slip again, he hadn't spoken yet, first heard a noisy voice from the jade slip, all the voices, all conveying a message: "...... I heard that something happened to the Chen family's ancestral house, and the house disappeared out of thin air, turning into a lake in its place. ”

"No, no, the city lord's mansion sent a signal, saying that the lake wave is a magic circle, and once someone enters, they will be trapped inside. ”

"This news is outdated, just now the City Lord's Mansion has sent people to guard, prohibiting the people from approaching the Chen family's old mansion at will, and the City Lord's Mansion has also sent monks to guard nearby, alas, the Golden Mountain Gate ......"

Chen Sangongzi hurriedly interjected: "Is there anyone outside, ah, what did you just say? What happened to the Golden Mountain Gate this morning?"

Or the monk who answered just now was responsible for answering: "The specific situation is not clear, today at dawn, the Golden Mountain Gate suddenly sounded the alarm bell, the mountain protection array was opened, and the entire mountain gate was closed, and now, the situation inside the mountain gate cannot be transmitted, and the people in the city are very panicked." ”

Chen Sangongzi immediately closed the call, and for a while, he looked very sluggish.

When Chen Sangongzi turned around, he turned his head to look at his great-ancestor Chen Zhongda, and found that the patriarch's expression was also very exciting, and he kept muttering: "A mid-foundation building monk, a mid-foundation building monk, since the Golden Mountain Gate can be forced to close the mountain, is it possible?"

Chen Sangongzi also felt that this was impossible, he swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said with difficulty: "Maybe it's just a coincidence...... Yes, this must be a coincidence, several heads of the door are Jindan, how can it be possible to let a junior in the foundation building period jump in front of him......"

Chen Sangongzi never knew that Yun Duo had always limited his enemies to the Yuanying class, he had been in retreat in the Ming Cicada Courtyard for five years, and he had been under the eyelids of the Golden Cicada True Monarch's disciples, pondering how to hide his breath and how to move some small tricks. Five years of research have now borne fruit, plus he has already prompted Pixiu Zhu, and with the help of the little poodle by his side, it is not a big deal to hide one or two Jindan monks who are emotional and only care about quarrels.

After a while, Chen Zhongda came back to his senses, he thought about the situation in front of him as a whole, and ordered: "Send two people out to get the communication jade slip back, no, the people who went out don't come back, just stay outside and contact us......" (To be continued......
