Today's morning was different from the past. Ding Yi clearly felt a kind of chill. At several intersections, Ding Yi found cultivators patrolling. When did Jiyun City become the sight it is today? Ding Yi

Secretly I felt a little uneasy.

Ding Yi really wanted to go to Xishan Tiger Camp to see if those strange birds were still there, but what's the use of going there? What should come will eventually come, and what should go will leave without urging.

.

"Kid, what's in the box?" Finally, a cultivator noticed Ding Yi and came forward to intercept and inspect him.

"I feel the existence of spiritual power inside. Open it quickly and don't play tricks." This is a strong man with swollen eyebrows and big eyes. It seems that he is a cultivator with a very keen spiritual sense. The man is on the same page as Ding Yi

Standing about three meters away, his left shoulder is slightly lowered, and his feet are slightly in a T-shape. This is the alert posture of a well-trained professional warrior.

Ding Yi hurriedly opened the box, revealing the puppet inside. Ding Yi took the puppet out and placed it on the ground, then took two steps back.

The cautious monk slowly walked up to the puppet, picked it up and looked at it briefly before throwing it to the ground. With a 'pop', the puppet's four arms suddenly became two and a half. Ding Yiqiang

Holding back the anger in his heart, he hurriedly lowered his body to pick it up, and the cultivator suddenly stepped down hard. At this time, the ugly puppet that Ding Yi had spent several nights making was completely scrapped.

This was Ding Yi's hard work for several days, and he suffered such an unreasonable disaster so suddenly.

Ding Yi held back his tears and didn't let them flow out, but he couldn't control them. When Ding Li beat him, he didn't cry. When Ding Zhaoding beat him, he didn't cry. But this stranger with thick eyebrows ruined him.

When it came to his work, he could no longer control it.

Ding Yi tried his best not to make a sound. He knelt on the ground and pulled the remaining parts from under the monk's feet. The monk didn't know what the purpose was, and he didn't speak.

He didn't even lift his feet, letting Ding Yi pull him hard.

Someone in the distance shouted "Shenwei."

The thick-browed man replied, "Wu Zhuang."

Perhaps because he thought it was not interesting, the cultivator finally raised his foot, and Ding Yi quickly picked up the broken puppet that could no longer be repaired.

Ding Yi knew that this might be their code word or password. After the thick-browed man replied that sentence, he turned around and ignored Ding Yi and left. Ding Yi packed up all the parts of the damaged puppet before

Get up from the ground and stagger towards the front door.

Along the way, Ding Yi saw several people being inspected like him. Ding Yi was lucky. He only lost one puppet, and he saw with his own eyes that some people lost their lives.

As the hinterland of the empire, Ding Yi could not imagine that as the most powerful empire in the world, such a tragic thing would happen. Originally, he still had a trace of respect for the existence of cultivators, but at this moment, only awe was left. This

Is this the co-prosperity and coexistence of cultivators and mortals mentioned in the book? Is this the so-called feeding back to mortals? In Ding Yi’s opinion, this is basically mortals supporting cultivators, and these cultivators are back-devouring mortals.

"You can't do this! If you do this, who among you will dare to go to the streets, who will dare to go to work, who will dare to do business?" came a high-pitched voice. Ding Yi looked secretly and saw a man with a hair on his head.

A young man with yellow hair was arguing with a man in black. Ding Yi recognized the yellow haired man. He was Zhao Tiangui, a golden retriever whom he had met once. He did not expect that this man with strange hair had such a human side.

"Zhao Tiangui, don't forget your identity. Is this a matter that a small person like you can comment on? Stop talking here. You'd better stay away from this matter. Otherwise, among the people who mine in Woniu Mountain,

I’m going to give you another golden retriever.” The man in blue didn’t speak politely.

Zhao Tiangui's face turned red at the rebuke, but he did not dare to intervene.

What big thing happened in this city that caused these cultivators to react like they were on dynamite? Ding Yi has been focusing on puppetry these days and has obviously ignored what is happening outside.

Coming to the Qianmen, this is also the main street in Jiyun City, but there are not many pedestrians on the street. Even if there are pedestrians walking on the street, they are all in a hurry. Xu Ji’s gate and this

The other stores on the street were all closed. Usually at this time, Xiaoye would have already taken off the door panels to clean up the store.

"Manager Xu, Xiaoye, Duoduo." Ding Yi slapped the door, and it took a while before the sound of people moving around could be heard from inside. "Who is it? The market is not open today, you can come another day." Ding Yi heard that it was Lu Shiji's.

sound.

"Master Lu, it's me, Ding Yi, open the door quickly." Ding Yi shouted quickly. Lu Shiji inside then pulled out the door bolt and opened the door only a small gap to let Ding in.

B entered Xu Ji.

"Xiao Yi, you don't want your life. The streets are so chaotic, why do you still go out?" Lu Shiji complained kindly.

"Who is calling the door outside and telling the customers that we are not open today?" Xu Rongfa's voice came from the attic.

"Boss Xu, it's me, Xiao Ding. I'm here today to visit you and some of the masters." Ding Yi responded loudly. Then there was a sound of feet stepping on the floor, and Xu Rongfa walked down the stairs.

"Xiao Ding, there is a lot of chaos everywhere now, but you came here alone? Do you want to die?" Xu Rongfa said.

"Actually, I've felt it all the way here, and I've been checked several times. It's really not peaceful outside. I've been studying puppetry these past few days, so I know nothing about what's going on outside. Can you tell me

What happened to me?" Ding Yi asked.

"It's true that the ignorant are fearless. You went out so rashly and didn't know that something big happened in the city. Let me tell you, you know that the Gao family in Jiyun City was not inspected a while ago, but the whole family was

They were arrested and interrogated over there in Jinghu. But guess what happened? Just the day before yesterday, there was a fierce battle in Jinghu, and their family was actually rescued under the strict control of the special search team.

At the same time, the Feng family was restricted from living and under strict supervision. On that day, the entire residence was empty. The police and fire department also used poison gas and splashed paint. Although no casualties were caused, such a bold and reckless behavior, this

This is also rare in the past few decades. There are countless cultivators who have come from all over the world in the past few days, and this Jiyun City is in chaos." Lu Shiji said with a serious face.

The fact that something like this happened in Jiyun City was beyond Ding Yi's expectation. In his opinion, his hometown is deep in the hinterland of the empire, the people are simple and honest, and he has never heard any heretical thoughts or heresies in the market.

, the Qingyun Sect on the edge of the city is also an upright and well-known sect in Ansheng. It trains talents for the empire. It should not be a place where the so-called rebellious party members and cult members live. Of course, there are still a very small number like Lao Zhang.

What Ding Yi can't figure out the most is, what are these people trying to do?

The existence of the empire surpasses the mainland in all aspects. It can be said that all the remaining countries in the world combined will not be the empire's opponents. The possibility of external forces intervening is extremely slim, because if that country dares to offend the dignity of the empire

, if you put your hand in, you will probably have to consider whether you can bear the risk of national subjugation and annihilation.

In fact, the empire's military had considered a plan to incorporate all other countries into the empire's territory hundreds of years ago. However, due to various reasons, the conquest plan was not carried out. Therefore, the possibility of external forces reaching out is extremely slim.

Moreover, Lao Zhang is not a foreigner. This person is from his grandfather's generation, but he is a native of Jiyun City.

If they are so-called heretics like Li Zaimin, it would be inexplicable to Ding Yi. He himself is a cultivator and enjoys the highest level of treatment in the world. He studies knowledge and explores the origin of human beings and the mysteries of the universe. Wouldn't it be good? And the whole world.

The country is against us, are these people crazy?

Duoduo ran out from behind happily. With Ding Yi leaving these days, Duoduo has returned to his previous self, losing his temper and scolding others. When Xiaoye went to call him, he was losing his temper alone.

Because the barbecue restaurant was closed these two days, he couldn't buy the roast chicken he was used to.

When she heard that Ding Yi was coming, Duoduo immediately became energetic and hurriedly ran to the front store. Sure enough, Ding Yi was talking to Lu Shiji and the others.

"Xiao Yi, you're here." Duoduo happily stepped forward and gave Ding Yi a big hug, regardless of whether he had a good change of clothes in the past few days. Ding Yi was also very happy to see Duoduo, and then thought of the one he made

The puppet was damaged by those rough monks, and his mood suddenly agitated, and he couldn't help crying.

Everyone thought that Ding Yi was so happy to see Duoduo that he cried with joy, but they didn't know the reason for this.

Duoduo was also very touched. This was a young man who fell in love with him. He comforted Ding Yi a few words. Duoduo was also curious why Ding Yi would go to the store to look for him at this time. Ding Yi took out the small box and Duoduo

It was very strange to see the tattered puppet that Ding Yi took out, and I didn't know what Ding Yi's intention was.

Ding Yi told Duoduo what happened early this morning. Of course Duoduo was very angry at those high-minded cultivators, but little people like them could only curse a few words in private when faced with such a thing. Duoduo also returned the favor.

He told Ding Yi that when encountering such a thing in the future, he must give priority to saving his own life and must not get into entanglements with cultivators over mere external possessions.

Duoduo brought Ding Yi to the workshop, where Duoduo carefully studied the ugly puppet sent by Ding Yi. This broken puppet, Ding Yi talked about his thinking and design of making this puppet.

.

Because this is just the most basic feather-level puppet, its structure is very complicated

The level was relatively low, and Duoduo quickly understood everything about this puppet.

Duoduo took out an iron hammer and smashed the ugly puppet into a pile of scrap metal with a few blows.

Ding Yi looked at Duoduo in surprise. He couldn't figure out why Duoduo did this. He worked hard for several nights to make this. Although part of it was damaged by the cultivator, Ding Yi was confident that he could do it here.

Fix it soon.

"I don't accept junk metal. What you want to give me must be high-quality. Don't you think there is nothing wrong with your design? Then come on, you can choose the materials in this workshop and make it in front of me."

Duoduo said.

Duoduo also took out a brand new set of tools, which were made according to Ding Yi's size settings. Duoduo believed that Ding Yi would come to Xu Ji again. He made such a tool after Ding Yi left.

One pair.

Seeing this set of tools, Ding Yi felt the delicate heart underneath Duoduo's rough and slovenly image.

Ding Yi started to move, but Duoduo didn't do anything at the side. Even if he spoke, he only corrected Ding Yi's mistakes in operation. As for how to make it, Ding Yi performed it all by himself.

Since he has already made that ugly puppet, Ding Yi clearly remembers the size and arrangement of the parts and the arrangement and connection of the various structures. Although Ding Yi is still unfamiliar with making, the workshop here is far better than at home.

working conditions, equipment and materials.

Soon Ding Yi got into the role, like a hard-working little bee, knocking, cutting, grinding, making, polishing... various procedures, fine processing. Duo Duo looked on expressionlessly.

The few words he occasionally said were to instruct Ding Yi on how to operate the machine and how to use the tools. He did not express any opinions on other aspects.

Xu Qian and Xu Manli came to Xu Ji, which frightened Xu Rongfa a lot. Thanks to the special pass given by Mu Zhiming, the whole journey was smooth.

The day before yesterday, Mu Zhiming invited Xu Qian and Xu Manli to go to the Mu family villa in Xishan. There they were warmly entertained by the Mu family, and Xu Qian saw the crown flowers of Jiyun City blooming for the first time.

The umbrella cover looks like clouds, and the scenery looks like flowing gold.

Of course, Xu Qian was deeply impressed by the strange birds and animals at Xishan Tiger Camp.

When leaving, Mu Zhiming gave Xu Qian this special pass.

"Oh, my little ancestor, it doesn't matter if you are crazy, you are still dragging down the second lady. The city has been in chaos these days. Don't you have eyes? I don't want you to lead me honestly these days.

Are you staying in a hotel, running around and so on? You guys are going to die." Xu Rongfa had a headache for his daughter.
