The puppets have not yet caused an earth-shattering disturbance in this land.
Wherever changes occur, the Six Paths of Impermanence are needed to solve the problem. Most of the time, they are dealing with chaos that has already surfaced. The human world is so vast that it cannot nip any signs of disaster in the bud. It is also said that it is not too late to remedy the situation. They should solve those troubles before they develop into bigger troubles. After all, the power of those troubles is enough to give people a glimpse of the leopard. The simplest example is the zombies raging everywhere. It is precisely because the problem is before us that the Six Paths of Impermanence need to rush to solve it.
The appearance of puppets is the seed of disaster.
"Generally speaking, even if we anticipate signs of danger, we will not interfere too much."
Lord Kisaragi was pacing slowly in the room, while the others were sitting at the table. It's not that the chair isn't useful enough, but that Kisaragi-kun doesn't want to sit still, as if he only feels secure when his feet bear the weight of his whole body.
"Why? Because you can't take care of it?" Han Chang asked.
"Well, being too busy is a point. The most important thing is that the adult does not force us to take care of these things. The tasks assigned by the adult are all troubles that have caused uneasiness. Things like those that have not been fully exposed but are real Hidden dangers that exist will only be assigned as formal tasks unless they are extremely bad in nature and have unimaginable consequences. After all, the Impermanent Ghosts also need to rest. Although they do not need to eat because they are used to the torment of hunger, they can be repaired naturally. If you give up your body and give up sleep, but just running around tirelessly for thousands of years, there will be problems. After all, most of us are human bodies when we are alive. If we can't have fun, do what we like, or It’s a moment to relax yourself and adjust your mentality. Although your body won’t be damaged, your brain will be completely destroyed. What will you do if you really go crazy? Working day and night becomes a pure punishment.”
"Indeed, you need to rest even if you are in a state of flux. No matter what, the balance between work and rest is the most important thing. It is not just as simple as eating enough and sleeping enough. But then again..." Xie Zhe changed the subject, "Since you It is said that the puppet incident has not caused any trouble yet, but you have already taken action. Could it be because it will cause a very serious trouble?"
"Uh, not necessarily."
Lord Ruyue couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw both of them tense up and looking at her nervously. She quickly waved her hands and explained to them:
"Having been living in impermanence for a long time, I can always learn to see some clues in some situations. What's more, we always travel to and from different places. Sometimes, a certain connection can be detected from clues in two places that have nothing to do with each other. Although that gentleman has great powers, there are always places that his hands can't reach. Therefore, it is our duty to detect troubles, which is all done consciously. Many colleagues will take the initiative to deal with some signs when they first take office. But as time went by, and I saw more scenes, I stopped caring about it. Oh, please don’t criticize us. I only said this because I am familiar with you. If ordinary people hear it, you have to blame us. No more work.”
"It's okay, I can all understand it." Han Zhang was happy and then asked, "So the puppet thing..." "Ah, it's too far off topic again. This problem needs to be corrected." Lord Ruyue patted his thigh, "Anyway? , the ten evil things are important, otherwise that gentleman would not have entrusted me to find them before they did something terrible and harmful. But sometimes, by detecting abnormalities in advance and solving troubles, you can take precautions to avoid future problems. Struggling awkwardly in the quagmire. In fact, the appearance of puppets is the same as the initial sign of the flooding of living corpses - scattered locations and concentrated time. However, puppets will not be infected with infectious diseases, and naturally no more people will be infected. . Just like a piece of cloth, throw a bunch of ink dots, one or two scattered, and the cloth is completely ruined. If it does not spread, but only a few dots, then we can only say that it is a little dirty, right? Now, we only know the evidence that the dolls were sighted and haunted. As for the things that killed people, we can’t easily conclude that they were responsible.”
The three of them nodded in unison, feeling that what she said made sense. At this time, Ling Huan suddenly thought of something and asked:
"Uh, wait a minute, is that... puppet the puppet I thought of? That is, a wooden dummy that can be manipulated by humans and can perform puppet shows?"
"Yes. They have different names in different places. Puppet, fake puppet, human figure... According to the material, there are also puppets, wax dolls, pottery dolls, copper dolls and so on. And according to different uses, they are also divided into different types. For example, it is made from a piece of If it's made of metal or stone, it can't be moved and can only be used as a decoration. If it can be carved with joints like wood, you can tie it with ropes and make a puppet show."
"But... the puppet you mentioned seems to be the kind that can cause big trouble... What does that look like?"
"That's it! This is too much trouble——"
Lord Ruyue was finally tired of walking, so she sat down heavily, folding her arms on the table, looking very distressed. Then she explained to everyone why the puppet she mentioned gave her such a headache. These are indeed no ordinary puppets. First of all, they are very big, as big as a human being. Although it sounds like this, it doesn't seem to be as scary as the giant beasts like small buildings, but if you think about it carefully, they are originally just props as big as a palm and no larger than the forearm, which is indeed a bit unusual. Moreover, they are made of clay, and the joints between the limbs are naturally not as flexible as wood. The problem arises here - they are movable, and the joints are not damaged by complex movements. In addition, although they cannot speak, they can hear and see. These are things that only truly living things can do. There are even rumors that these puppets can also use spells... which is really strange.
Think about it, something that looks like a human, dresses like a human, and behaves like a human—but is not human, is really a bit disturbing. What kind of monster is this?
Xie Zhe listened thoughtfully.
"Hmm... Is there a possibility that it is a demon spirit such as Fusangshen? The more it resembles something, the closer the monsters it breeds to will have the characteristics of a metaphor. Those things that look like humans can easily give birth to human-like ones. Spiritual objects? You know, the emergence of Fusangshen does not mean that you have to wait for how many times it has been used or how many years it has been left. Under certain circumstances, no matter what magic circle is created, it can be easily created like this It's a bluff. And it's not unusual for Fu Sangshen to be able to cast spells."
Han Zhang added: "Also, the onmyojis also say that the closer an object is to a human form, the easier it is for something to attach itself to it. Because these containers have human characteristics when they are made, they become a way to lure the undead. The body. Driven by this kind of demon power, can they move?"
In the past six months, Ye Lingyu has been exposed to many bizarre things that he would never encounter in his family in his entire life. But when her friends talked eloquently, she could still hear them freshly. The world is so big, and there are still many things she doesn't know about. Although she said nothing at the moment, she listened carefully and listened as before to absorb new things from their debate.
"What you said makes sense. But..." Mr. Ruyue shook his heavy head and said helplessly, "Haven't we thought of these situations? It is true that Fu Sangshen has demon power, but Fu Sangshen can be such a monster that can easily give birth. Is it? All the spirits in the world are created by the time and place according to their cause and effect. There can never be any large-scale cultivation of the magic of Fusangshen. As for the idea that Brother Fox attracts the dead, although it sounds reliable, it is actually full of loopholes. Ordinary It is very laborious and nerve-wracking for the dead souls to make real objects move, and it is more flexible to get rid of the shackles of the body. What's more, those who are eager to possess are all evil ghosts. The evil ghosts want to kill themselves, and they cannot stay quiet like this all the time. Furthermore, Although there are many evil ghosts, they all have their own obsessions in life, and they should not appear in large numbers at the same time."
"that……"
While they were discussing, Ling Huan suddenly made a weak voice. So the three of them stopped, wanting to hear if this usually quiet little girl suddenly had any ideas.
"Uh, um, I saw a toy when I was a child." Ling Huan gestured, "It was a little person, it seemed to be made of wood, and it could move. A juggler held it, and I was walking on the street with my elders I was very impressed when I saw it. The man put a piece of talisman on the puppet, and it walked, jumped, and turned somersaults like a human being without connecting any wires. We all felt fresh... Could that thing move like these? What’s the connection between puppets?”
"Fake." Xie Zhe and Ru Yuejun said in unison.
Ling Huan felt disappointed and Han Chang was a little anxious. Since he knew the truth, he told Ling Huan that there were two talismans, one on his body and one hidden on the other person's body. The two talismans are related to each other, and those actions are given by the mother talisman. On the surface, there is only one magician, but there is actually another person hiding in an invisible corner.
"Listen to what I have to say..." Ling Huan sighed softly, "Because this is a downtown area, someone knowledgeable will expose that person immediately. But the person was not upset, he just burned the talisman to ashes in public and pointed at the puppet. I saw the puppet paralyzed on the ground, a green light penetrated into it, and it sat up like a person waking up, and became alive and kicking again."
Han Zhang scratched his head and thought: "If the Zifu is destroyed, it really shouldn't be touched again."
"It's an old trick." Xie Zhe said calmly, "First it causes conflicts, and then it proves one's innocence. In fact, the puppet is hollow, with another talisman hidden inside. Only after the outside is damaged does the inside work. .I have been doing this since I was a child...Why are you staring at me?"
Han Chang rolled his eyes.
"I'm going to kick you too."
