Chapter 55: The Puppeteer's Feast
The night is dark, and there are also family members patrolling around the villa at night. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The lights in the info villa were almost all extinguished, and the glimmer of light that was still moving was the lantern, and a faint shadow could be seen under the bright moonlight, and the shadow became chaotic as the breeze swept by.
A housekeeper carried a lantern and yawned, vaguely feeling that a small cold wind had just blown.
Seven dark figures lined up one by one, galloping and in the villa, with the cover of the night and the power of light skills, none of the family members who were patrolling even noticed it.
After the two puppets walked forward and one after the other, they jumped straight out of the courtyard wall of Zhuangzi with Nian Jiang and a few people, and quickly jumped forward in the villa. Fortunately, his speed was not too fast, and the sound was slightly loud when he landed, so that a few people would not be lost, otherwise the puppet would be silent at night. Behind the puppet is Qian Xian, then Nian Jiang, followed by Nian Jiang is Ah Rong, followed by Yang Che, and finally Bai Jike, behind him is another girl-like puppet that is slightly inferior to the young puppet, and this is the one who stopped Ah Rong's leg in the house before.
Bai Jike is not good at long-distance light light skills, and walked all the way looking at Qian Xiannian Jiang Arong, who was very relaxed in front of him, and Yang Che, who was not very difficult, he rarely blushed, and rushed forward with a muffled voice.
Qian Xian was very relaxed, almost ejecting out of his legs, extremely relaxed between movements, and frequently looked backwards, his eyes lit up obviously when he saw Bai Jike, and he couldn't bear to spit out something in his mouth, seeing that the two in the middle laughed secretly, Bai Jike was angry.
It wasn't until the puppet stomped lightly and catapulted straight onto the high outer wall and jumped down, and Nian Jiang jumped up with it, that he realized that the puppet's lead was completely based on the shortest straight line between the two points, and his admiration for the young sect master deepened a little.
As soon as you come out of the outer wall, there is a mountain forest, and the moonlight does not shine, and it is all dark. Standing in front of him, it looks like a big mouth of blood.
Nian Jiang jumped down, paused when he landed, and looked straight at the past. Then he heard the sound of landing, and Yang Che stepped forward and walked to his side.
It's not that he doesn't know anything about the darkness, and the pile of poison gives him good night vision, but it's just that the branches of the trees are like claws in the middle of the night, and the puppets of the forest are really creepy standing in the middle of it. Just as he hesitated, he saw the puppet stop in the darkness and grope for something in his sleeve.
Nian Jiang was secretly on guard, and so was Yang Che, at this moment, there was a pop behind him, Bai Jike also jumped down, and the girl puppet followed closely and landed silently.
Dividing some of his attention to the girl puppet, he mainly looked at the puppet directly in front of him.
I saw that the puppet took out a fire fold, went straight to the back of a tree, took out a torch, lit it, and the firelight suddenly illuminated the area.
The puppet has no thoughts, and the lowest puppet has a thin line wrapped around it, and the master controls the puppet by manipulating the thin line; the powerful puppet does not need a thin line, and can only act according to the mechanism set by the master; and then the power is reflected in the appearance of the puppet, just like Ah Rong, just looking at the appearance is no different from the real person.
In this case, the place of the torch and the fire fold must have been the work of the puppeteer.
The young puppet lit a torch and twisted stiffly towards them, then turned back and walked forward. This time, with the firelight, he could easily be found even through paths and trees.
Several people followed with anticipation, curiosity, and vigilance.
Linjiang is a barren place, not to mention the steep cliffs, even the woods are sparse and ugly, Nianjiang and his party have never seen a good-looking place except for the spring road city along the way. Follow the puppet through the dark and dreary forest, sometimes you can see a few dead leaves on the ground and dirt, which is the moonlight leaking from the branches above that do not block the moonlight.
After a few turns, Nian Jiang couldn't remember the road more and more he walked, and finally had to give up and pin his hopes on Qian Xian and Yang Che.
All he remembered was that they had been running in the forest for a long time, and in the distance there was a silvery patch, and the figure of the puppet disappeared into the silvery white.
He held his breath and quickly followed, jumped out of the boulder, and saw Qian Xian, who had arrived one step earlier, standing motionless in place, and his ears were clear at this time, and the clear sound of water slapped in his ears, reaching the bottom of his heart.
Nian Jiang was stunned for a moment, ignoring the sound of landing behind him, his eyes had already moved to the scene in front of him.
In front of you is a beautiful view that has never been seen before. It was a waterhole, and next to it was a neat row of trees, which bent backwards, and the trunks bent down, and the branches also bent down, hanging straight into the water, and the thin ripples rose and fell, and the leaves also rose and fell on it, and the moonlight was reflected in the waterhole, and was scattered by the ripples. There was a small table under the tree, and a man in green clothes stood in front of the table, and the moonlight hit his back, gilding him with a silver outline.
The two puppets didn't stop a step, and suddenly accelerated their speed and ejected directly in the direction of the man in green clothes.
The four of them looked at each other, and Nian Jiang tightly clutched Ah Rong's sleeve.
saw the man in Tsing Yi walking slowly, and said loudly: "Why don't you come and sit down." ā
The voice is deliberately low, low and pleasant, with magnetism, but this will never make people mistaken, this is obviously a female voice!
This young sect master, isn't she a girl?!
Nian Jiang looked at it in surprise, although the man in Tsing Yi was wearing a loose robe, the curves were vaguely exquisite, and the three thousand green silk were simply pulled up with a wooden hairpin, and he was wearing a delicate mask on his face, and his aura was natural.
This is clearly a woman.
"Of course. Several people glanced at each other, and Nian Jiang, who was pushed out, took a breath, said with a smile, and then raised his legs and walked towards her.
Several people followed him, and Ah Rong leaned on him tightly, without any other movements.
When the man in green clothes saw them move, he put his hands behind his back and made a gesture, and then the two puppets who had just gone down came up with something and put it on the table.
When I got closer, it was a table of side dishes, and there were several wine jars on the ground.
sat down one by one, although the person in Tsing Yi was a woman, he was also generous, and his actions carried the pride of the Jianghu people, and he did not look twisted or ashamed when he sat down with his sleeves, so that a few people looked up to a few points.
Women have been weak and beautiful since ancient times, and even if the person in power is a woman, it is inevitable that people will be despised.
"This is a rare scenery near the river, and I also found it by chance, so I invited a few benefactors to come here. The Tsing Yi people brought each of them a glass of wine, raised the glass and toasted it first, "This wine is home-brewed sake." ā
"Good wine!" Qian Xian poured a cup in one gulp, the light taste of wine was obviously not his liking, but he still praised his face.
"The wine is crisp and sweet, but it has an endless aftertaste. Yang Che is a humble gentleman, and he tasted a few flavors in just one bite, and sincerely commented.
"Thank you for your love. The woman in Tsing Yi nodded slightly, she looked at Ah Rong beside Nian Jiang, her voice had a bit of bitterness, "He once said that he would give me this puppet after he died, but I didn't expect it to come back so quickly." ā
"The dead rest in peace, and the girl should not be too sad. Nian Jiang comforted in a deep voice, took a sip, and listened to Yang Che's comment and regretted that he had no sense of taste.
The woman thanked Nian Jiang for his comfort, straightened up, and just raised her hand and tapped a few times on Ah Rong's arm - the two of them sat very close. Then Ah Rong stood up, walked directly behind her and knelt down again.
Nian Jiang's expression changed slightly.
The person who can control the puppet can only be the puppet maker. He was able to control Ah Rong because Ah Rong's master asked Ah Rong to obey him, and he also handed him a few basic techniques. The production of the puppet is extremely complex, and it is impossible to control it with just a few techniques, which is too profound for Nian Jiang to explain clearly.
If you want to talk about kung fu in your hands, Nian Jiang, who was born as a doctor, will never be bad, but even so, it is extremely difficult to control Ah Rong. This woman can do it easily, which proves that she is really the young sect master.
Now that the identity is confirmed, then everything is easy to do.
Nian Jiang gave a few people a look, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.
