Xu Zhiqiong carefully carved a puppet with Yang Wu in the Zhonglang Pavilion.
Chang Decai bought high-quality materials, and Yang Wu was very skilled in craftsmanship. According to Xu Zhiqiong's recollection, the puppet they made was exactly the same as Yuan Chengfeng's.
Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "If Hong Juncheng sees this puppet, he will be shocked!"
Yang Wu remained silent, peeking at Xu Zhiqiong from time to time.
During the past half day, his behavior has been a little strange.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Xu Zhiqiong asked casually while taking a comb to fix the puppet's hair.
Yang Wu pondered for a long time and said: "I have been promoted to the fourth rank."
Xu Zhiqiong was startled and almost dropped his comb: "Fourth grade? Are you joking?"
Yang Wu scratched his head and said, "I think it's a joke, but I tested it with the Ruiming Tower and it's really the fourth grade."
"Did you take the elixir or drink the divine water?" Xu Zhiqiong stared at Yang Wu for a long time, "Did someone give you some advice?"
Yang Wu nodded: "Someone really gave me some advice."
Xu Zhiqiong has long suspected this.
Yang Wu's cultivation is of high quality, which proves that the so-called Buyang Dao was not created by him.
This Taoist sect has a foundation, which is based on the mortal world, but the foundation is not very solid. There is no obvious corresponding skill behind Yang Wu's rank.
Yang Wu put down the awl in his hand, looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Brother, I was originally a dead soul at Naihe Bridge who had no place to go. It was you who pulled me back to the world of the underworld. Although I am still a ghost to this day, I am alive and well.
When I was young, I still looked like a human being,
I feel that I shouldn’t hide anything from you. Although he won’t let me tell you, I still want to tell you.
I met the ancestor of my Taoist sect in Huntiandang."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded, as he expected: "Do you know the name of the ancestor?"
Yang Wu shook his head and said: "He refuses to say anything. Every time we meet, he comes and goes in a hurry, as if he is afraid of being discovered by someone.
Whenever I feel that my body is weak, my energy is stagnant, I am injured, or I am too exhausted, I will go to Huntiandang to replenish some Yin Qi. As long as I go to Huntiandang, I can always meet him.
He would either teach me some spells or some methods of warming and nourishing my flesh and blood. After I come back, I would sometimes teach some of these methods to Lao Chang."
Xu Zhiqiong suddenly realized: "I said that Lao Chang has become more and more energetic in recent days."
"Not only Shuiling, Lao Chang and I ate a leg of lamb last night. I felt a little tired of it, and Lao Chang wasn't full yet."
"Eat so much?"
Only Changde can eat some human fireworks, Xu Zhiqiong knew this, but being able to eat a leg of lamb in one breath surprised Xu Zhiqiong.
His ability to warm and nourish flesh and blood is also too strong.
What is the origin of this patriarch?
"Brother, you don't know anything about this patriarch, so you should be more careful."
Yang Wu nodded and said: "I was planning to discuss this matter with you. For a person like me, it is enough to have a fourth-level cultivation. I will just take care of my flesh and blood in the future and live a down-to-earth life with Lao Chang.
From now on, I won’t go wandering in Huntian anymore.”
That's what Yang Wu is good at, being honest!
If it were Chu He, he would never tell Xu Zhiqiong this easily.
If it were Xu Zhiqiong himself, he had practiced with his master for so long and never told anyone else.
Yang Wu said that he did not want to see the patriarch again, which was indeed a sound idea.
But what if this is an opportunity?
What if this opportunity is missed?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wudao: "Are you willing to be a fourth grader for the rest of your life?"
Yang Wu shook his head: "To be honest, I'm not willing to give in."
"If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to do it."
"Otherwise, next time I go to Huntiandang, you go with me. You are much smarter than me. You can hide in secret and help me find out what the ancestor is up to?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "This is not appropriate. Your ancestor's cultivation must be higher than mine. If I are discovered, it will be very detrimental to you."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Yang Wu's clothes.
Take his clothes to the Xingxiu Corridor, and with the help of Master's Evil Mirror Stand, you may be able to see the appearance of Patriarch Yang Wu.
But I don’t know when Master’s mirror will be repaired.
"Don't worry, brother, once we deal with Hong Juncheng, we will find a solution together."
After the puppet was completed, Xu Zhiqiong brought the soul of Suzaku Lingxiumen.
"Woo~" The soul was still moaning, and Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about how to stuff this soul into the puppet's body.
How did Yuan Chengfeng stuff it in?
Ming Dao must have a way.
There are also methods of onmyoji, Taibu and Han Chen can make soul puppets.
Xu Zhiqiong turned to Yang Wu and asked, "Is there anything you can do?"
Yang Wu thought for a moment and said: "This is called soul magic. I have learned it, but I have never tried it."
"Let's try it. It doesn't matter if the puppet is broken, but don't hurt this soul."
…
In the Shensi Pavilion and Xuanhua Pavilion, Hong Juncheng sat silently behind the desk, while Qin Yan served beside him.
Li Quangen, the chief seal of the Zhidian Supervisor, was reporting on the mistakes made by his subordinate chamberlains. Someone accidentally knocked over a porcelain bottle while sweeping, and someone fell asleep while sitting under the eaves of the corridor while on duty.
There was no need to report these trivial matters to the Lord God, but the Lord God caught one of the chamberlains stealing flowers from the garden the day before yesterday. In a rage, he ordered the chamberlain to be beaten to death.
From that day on, the palm seals of each palace must take turns reporting the negligence of their servants. If there is any concealment and failure to report, the palm seals of each palace will be severely punished.
No one knows what the Lord God has seen or heard, and no one dares to deceive the Lord God easily.
Li Quangen reported a total of eleven faults, and he only dared to secretly hide them from the servants who were capable of cultivation.
Hong Juncheng was in a daze, and he didn't know if he paid attention. He waved his hand casually and said: "Put him in jail."
Li Quangen said yes without saying a word.
Hundreds of chamberlains have been imprisoned in the prison. One chamberlain was also imprisoned because he made a mistake while sweeping and left a few dead leaves.
What exactly is the Lord Shen trying to do?
A chamberlain sent a letter. Hong Juncheng opened the letter and took a look.
The sun shines on the letter, and ink stains appear on the back of the letter.
There was a picture on the letter, but Qin Yan didn't see it clearly.
Hong Juncheng put the letter into his sleeve and said to Qin Yan, "I'm tired."
Qin Yan immediately ordered people to prepare the chariot and accompanied Hong Juncheng back to the palace.
He wanted to know the contents of the letter, but he saw Li Quangen shaking his head invisibly at him.
Li Quangen asked Qin Yan not to take risks because he had read the letter clearly.
That was the scene in Yuchun Lane in the south of the city. There was a mark on a house.
Why was this painting sent?
What's in that mansion?
…
Yang Wu tried hard for more than a dozen times and finally stuffed his soul into the puppet.
He mobilized his Yin Qi and tried to control the puppet, but it failed to move, sit or lie down at all.
Xu Zhiqiong observed for a moment and found that the puppet's neck had slight movements.
"Brother, try to make this puppet nod."
Yang Wu transmitted Yin Qi to the soul. The puppet trembled for a moment, its neck slightly bent, its head slowly lowered, and then slowly raised again.
"It's strange, why can only the neck move?"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Nothing strange, this soul has no arms and legs."
Yang Wu still thought that this soul just had a strange appearance, but now he realized that his functions were also strange. He had no hands or feet in his shape and could not control the puppet's hands and feet.
In fact, this is a reasonable design.
There are four souls in the tiger's body. If these four souls can control its hands and feet, the tiger will definitely not be able to move normally.
Yang Wu frowned and said: "If you can't move your hands and feet, what's the use? Just stuff those souls in."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "It's useless to stuff them in. The souls have to be sewn together so that they can sense each other."
"Just sew, it just so happens that I want to try it too."
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "You can't try, it will kill you. I'll find someone to try!"
Xu Zhiqiong put the puppet away with a charm and went to Yuyao Palace.
…
Hong Juncheng returned to his bedroom, sent others away, and lay quietly on the bed.
Qin Yan was serving outside the palace, and suddenly felt a slight change in the atmosphere in the sleeping palace.
This change was very subtle, and it would have been difficult to detect it if Qin Yan hadn't had the fourth-grade eunuch cultivation level.
The king of gods has left the palace?
Is it related to that letter?
Qin Yan said to a servant next to her: "I'm going to the toilet, so you can serve the Lord God."
…
Xu Zhiqiong brought the puppet to Liang Yuyao, and begged softly: "I have a friend who just wants to see the power of the princess's Dragon Fury. Your Highness, please help him."
Liang Yuyao stared at the puppet and saw it nodding from time to time.
"Is this your friend? You don't even know how to bow when you see me?"
"He is a foolish person. I asked someone to read it and they said that as long as he is under the power of Princess Yuyao's Dragon Fury, he can open his mind and regain his mind."
"What a joke! Who do you think I am? I want to play tricks with him!"
"Your Highness, let's take a look at our friendship and save this poor man."
Liang Yuyao knew that Xu Zhiqiong was talking nonsense, but she couldn't resist him and kept begging him, so she simply agreed to him and used the power of Dragon Fury on the puppet.
Domineering energy surged forward, and in the main hall, several envoys in red and several maids bowed their heads.
Xu Zhiqiong also pretended to bow his head, but the puppet did not.
Liang Yuyao was startled, then stepped forward and touched the puppet's cheek, asking: "Is this really a living person?"
Xu Zhiqiong was at a loss for words when he suddenly saw the puppet open its mouth and turn its head to bite Liang Yuyao's hand.
Liang Yuyao was startled and quickly took her hand back.
This is the tiger's instinct.
Xu Zhiqiong did think that this puppet could move freely, but he was not affected by the power of dragon's anger.
The soul created by Yuan Chengfeng can resist domineering techniques.
What techniques he relied on to resist the domineering force still needs to be studied carefully.
Just when Xu Zhiqiong was overjoyed, he suddenly heard a maid come to report: "There is a woman who wants to see Marquis Yun."
Liang Yuyao looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Which family is this girl from?"
Xu Zhiqiong pointed at the puppet and said, "Maybe his wife is here."
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong carried the puppet to the front yard and saw Chang Decai waiting hurriedly in the yard.
Chang Decai does not easily show his face in front of outsiders. Today is an exception. There must be something urgent.
Xu Zhiqiong took her to the east courtyard and asked her why.
Chang Decai said: "Hong Juncheng left the palace and went to Yuchun Lane in the south of the city."
"broken!"
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked.
The stone eye is in the house on Yuchun Lane in the south of the city.
