The old man in gray shirt felt helpless in his heart. He was not as strong as others, and the life and death of his family were all in the hands of the other party. He wanted to resist, but the other party was by no means the only one with the methods of Ma Yao and the two of them.
And it will only add to the cruelty and cold-bloodedness.
Seeing the old man in gray shirt hesitate, Li Yan showed displeasure.
"What, you don't want to say?"
When the old man in gray shirt heard this, his dull expression immediately sobered up, and he sighed deeply in his heart again. ??
He takes every precaution, and even when he sells some puppets to make a living, he only dares to sell low-grade puppets.
In this way, they have not had any trouble for many years and have not been noticed by anyone.
It was just one small oversight that drove his family to a dead end.
Regarding this, when he glanced at the mutilated corpse of the monk surnamed Ma from the corner of his eye, he already had a look of boundless resentment.
"Ancestor, my grandson is unfilial. If you are alive in heaven and have seen this situation today, I have tried my best to protect the inheritance.
But now that I am being targeted by a monk with a golden elixir or above, how can I resist while searching for souls? After weighing the situation, I can only keep our bloodline alive."
The old man in gray shirt was overwhelmed with emotion and could only think silently in sorrow.
"father……"
Before the old man in gray shirt could speak, Shuang Lianzhou on the other side was already filled with grief and anger. He stared at Li Yan, his eyes filled with anger.
But before he could continue to speak, he was severely interrupted by the old man in gray shirt.
"Zhou'er, shut up! Senior is asking about the whole story. Why are you interrupting? I'm not dead yet. You know the family inheritance better than me? How much can you tell me?"
As the old man in gray shirt spoke, he stared at his son fiercely.
Seeing the strong warning in his father's eyes, Shuang Lianzhou was not stupid, he was just unwilling to give in.
But he immediately closed his mouth in a depressed manner, and the young woman named Ming Ling, with a nervous look on her face, tightly held his sleeves with her hands.
As if she was afraid of losing him, her eyes were full of pleading. Seeing this, Shuang Lianzhou could only grit his teeth and lowered his head silently.
The old man in gray shirt was shocked when his son suddenly interrupted. While he was scolding him, sweat was already dripping from his forehead.
He kept secretly looking at the expression of the young man in green robes, fearing that he would suddenly commit murder. This man's methods were very bloody, and he could not express his emotions or anger.
The mutilated corpses on the ground on the other side seemed to constantly remind him of how terrifying the other party was. Ma Yaoqi and the others probably didn't even know how they died.
But when he saw that the other party remained silent and just looked at him quietly, the old man in gray shirt felt a little more at ease.
This time there was no hesitation and he spoke quickly.
"Senior, I think with your eyes, you have already seen some things.
The little old man's name is Shuang Zhongshan, and that is his son and his daughter-in-law.
All of this is caused by the ‘divine art’ passed down in our clan. This set of puppet techniques is just like that of our predecessors.
What I have seen before is that it is indeed possible to refine a puppet equivalent to the golden elixir level..."
When he said this, he secretly looked at Li Yan again. The young man in Xuanyi's eyes were still as calm as water, and there was no hint of greed.
But the more this happened, the more nervous Shuang Zhongshan felt, because he couldn't guess from the other person's expression, so that he could better deal with it.
"Is he really unmoved, or is he hiding it more deeply? The ambition of a wolf cannot be seen at all!"
Shuang Zhongshan was uncertain for a while.
Then, under the calm gaze of Li Yan, Shuang Zhongshan could only recount his origins and experiences, and he told the truth.
He only hoped that after searching the souls later, the other party would find that he had nothing to hide and let those two people go.
Shuang Chongshan's family is a small branch of the Duye tribe. Originally, there were only about thirty people in the tribe.
Due to some clan-related reasons, he had already migrated from the Duye clan, and was still being guarded by an ancestor who was in the early stage of Yuanying.
What their branch inherits is a puppet mechanism technique among the Duye tribe, called "Shenzhen Technique".
This technique is not available in other branches of the Du Ye clan. With this technique, they have been able to help others refine weapons, and Shuang Chongshan and the others have always had plenty of training resources.
But ever since the ancestor of this branch passed away in the Nascent Soul stage hundreds of years ago, their branch has been in a precipitous decline, with crises all over the place.
Many monks who knew the "divine art" had made up their mind, including members of other branches of the Duye clan.
That is an advanced method that can refine a puppet equivalent to the golden elixir level.
As a result, this branch, which was originally small, was almost destroyed. One night, they were attacked by nine Jindan masters.
There were only four Golden Core cultivators in their clan, but each of them had a powerful puppet magic weapon. During the fight, many of their clan members were killed or injured.
However, he also beheaded and severely wounded the seven Jindan monks who attacked, and killed three Jindan cultivators on the spot.
The last Jin Dan in the clan fought tooth and nail to resist the last two enemy Jin Dan, taking the opportunity to let the clan members escape.
Shuang Zhongshan's father and son escaped from that death battle. They didn't know how many other tribesmen had survived, and they didn't dare to inquire about news about their tribe.
From then on, the father and son wandered around the world until they stopped in a city not far from here thirty years ago.
After they confirmed that no one was following them, they rented a small shop in the market, selling some low-level Warcraft materials, elixirs, and talismans.
Occasionally, a few low-level puppets are refined and sold. There are still many monks in the world of immortality who can refine low-level puppets. They are usually only used to serve tea and water and simply gather information.
However, Shuang Zhongshan never dared to take out the higher-grade puppets he had refined.
At this time, with Shuang Zhongshan's cultivation and painstaking immersion in puppetry, he was able to refine a fake pill-level puppet.
Even if there are good refining materials, with the blessing of the materials themselves, he can refine a puppet that is infinitely close to the early stage of the golden elixir.
His natal magic weapon, the giant red tiger, is a puppet that can exert the power of the fake elixir.
Even under the control of a person with strong spiritual consciousness, the golden elixir can briefly exert its initial strength, but it will collapse into countless fragments after one breath.
The father and son have always been cautious, fearing that Xingzang would be exposed, so they have always been in peace.
Later, Shuang Lianzhou met a human female cultivator from a third-rate sect in Fangshi, named Ming Ling. The two fell in love at first sight, and soon became a Taoist couple.
Ming Ling quit that third-rate sect and came to help in the shop. Everything was going smoothly.
In order to keep the secret of "Shenzhen Shu", the Frost family and his son did not tell Ming Ling some of the secrets.
So one day eighteen years ago, after many years of foundation building, Shuang Lianzhou finally completed the refining of his first puppet, which was equivalent to the initial stage of foundation building.
An eight-limbed "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" was an important breakthrough in his practice of "Shenzhen Art" and marked a breakthrough in his puppet mechanism art.
But due to his spiritual consciousness and spiritual energy consumption, he fell asleep directly in the weapon refining room due to sleepiness.
And it happened that during those few days, Shuang Zhongshan went out to purchase some elixirs, Fu Han, so the store was handed over to Mingling's care.
On the second day, Ming Ling saw that her husband had not left the weapon refining room all night. As a young couple, their relationship had always been close, so she naturally went to find him.
There have been times before where she didn't return home from refining a weapon overnight, so she wasn't too worried.
But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, which made her panic.
She had also been married to Shuang Lianzhou for many years. Although she was rarely allowed to enter the weapon refining room, she still knew that her husband left a small flag in the bedroom that opened the ban on the weapon refining room.
In panic, she took it and opened the weapon refining room. She was shocked to see her husband lying motionless on the steps.
But then after scanning with his spiritual consciousness, he saw that he was breathing evenly and that there was no abnormality in his body, and then he realized that he had fallen into a deep sleep.
Only then did she feel relieved. Although she was not a weapon refiner, she knew from what she heard and saw that this type of refining was the most energy-consuming. After the power of spiritual consciousness was exhausted, the whole person's consciousness would fall into an extreme sleep.
What's more, she had seen her husband fall into a deep sleep more than once when he returned to the bedroom.
Ming Ling took out the elixir and put it into Shuang Lianzhou's mouth. When she looked around, she found the palm-sized puppet in the weapon refining room.
She was immediately radiated from the puppet
Attracted by the thick atmosphere.
This was completely different from any puppet she had seen before. It was just that the puppet had a textured luster that she had never seen in the entire market.
The overall feeling of the puppet is smooth and bright. Ming Ling can feel that once someone sheds blood and recognizes the owner of the puppet, the power it will exert will definitely kill her with one blow.
Ming Ling was amazed that her husband could make such a puppet, and then an idea subconsciously popped into her mind.
If this puppet can be placed in a store, it will definitely attract the attention of businessmen.
At that time, if someone wants to buy it, she can just ask her husband about the selling price. This will definitely bring huge profits to her family, and at the same time, she can also start to become famous in the entire market.
So, Ming Ling immediately took the puppet to the shop ahead.
Sure enough, not long after that, they were caught by a stout man and a tall, thin monk passing by the door. Both of them had a glint in their eyes.
Both of them rushed into the store and asked Ming Ling to take out the puppet for them to watch.
Ming Ling was also happy to see this.
Although she is the only Qi Condensation Stage monk in the shop, the spiritual stones they turn in to the market every month are enough to ensure that there will be monks below Nascent Soul here, and no one dares to snatch them away.
But generally, things on the market can only be explored with eyes and spiritual consciousness, and cannot be touched with any part of the body.
What's more, the puppets sold by her family cannot be controlled with universal magic tricks. They must have matching magic tricks. It would be very troublesome to use them if they are snatched away.
Ming Ling smiled and allowed the other party to check.
The two people only appraised it for a few breaths, but they both had the idea of purchasing it. For this reason, there was a hint of hostility in their words.
This point fell in Ming Ling's eyes, and she was immediately overjoyed. She had been running a store for a long time, and she knew very well about this kind of competition among merchants.
Knowing that the profits that can be obtained will be greater, especially since these two people are determined to get this thing and monopolize it.
Sure enough, after a few words of private communication between the sturdy man and the tall, thin monk, they both understood from each other's words that the other was determined to win.
For a moment, no one wanted to take a step back, so they casually asked Mingling which master of the craftsmanship this thing was made by, and whether it could be refining to produce another one.
And just when Ming Ling felt a little proud and was about to tell the whole story, she found out that this "Snow Jade Spider" was made by her husband.
Unexpectedly, the light at the door dimmed, and a tall figure appeared in the shop.
The man saw the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" in front of the thick man and the tall and thin monk at a glance. His expression changed, and then he rolled up his robe sleeves and put away the "Crystal Snow Jade Spider" puppet.
The man's sudden intrusion and unexpected actions startled the three people in the store.
