Those people each held tools in their hands, either wiping or pruning branches, turning a blind eye to Qu Wuming and others who entered the yard.

"Those people don't seem to be real people?" Tong Xiangyu looked at them and whispered.

"Well, those are all puppets." Qu Wuming walked carefully along a corridor, deliberately avoiding a nearby puppet, "It's just that they are extremely exquisitely made. Compared with the puppets in our Shifang Realm, they are just like a puppet." Heaven and earth."

Ding Xian warned the two Hou brothers from behind: "Don't provoke these puppets. They seem to be ignoring us now. If they suddenly charge at us, we may not be able to defeat them."

Qu Wuming turned around and said, "Don't worry, if these puppets were used to defend against foreign enemies, they would have already rushed over."

"I don't know how long this garden and these puppets have been here. It's amazing that they are still the same as before. It's as if the attack that destroyed the whole city before didn't hurt this place." Tong Xiangyu said.

"These puppets are not living people, so they will not be killed with one blow like living people." Qu Wuming analyzed, "Besides, this Dongwei Mansion is the center of the entire space, and its defense capabilities will naturally be the strongest. The fact that the plants here can survive is the best proof.”

Soon, everyone passed through the garden and entered the second courtyard without any danger. Qu Wuming's brows could not help but frown tightly.

Looking at the puppets lying on the ground in the second courtyard, Qu Wuming said in a deep voice, "Wei Yixian has done something here."

I saw that the clothes of the puppets here were very different from those in the front yard. They were tall and burly, all dressed in short skirts and small clothes. They were full of power. If they were standing with Qu Wuming and others, they would be taller and taller than Qu Wuming. Wuming seems to be even stronger!

If the puppets in the front yard are just servants doing work, then these puppets should be the guardians of the yard.

However, these puppets seemed to be asleep at the moment, lying on the ground in various directions. Each puppet had a shining golden talisman on its body, either on its forehead, or on its chest or shoulders, and some Even on the butt.

"What kind of talisman is this?" Ding Xian moved slightly closer to a puppet and looked at it carefully.

"I'm afraid it's used to suppress the puppets." Qu Wuming said, "An ancient book mentioned that many puppets in the True Immortal Realm are based on the souls of living people or monster beasts. After erasing the consciousness, they are penetrated into the puppets, and then Use them to control every move of the puppet. Except that its cultivation cannot be improved through practice, this kind of puppet can perform very complex tasks just like ordinary people, and can also use various magical powers."

"It seems that Wei Yixian came prepared!" Ding Xian said in a deep voice.

"Wei Yixian..." Qu Wuming said silently in his heart, "Who are you?"

"Since Wei Yixian has already given us a way, we will definitely find him if we continue forward!" Hou Jinhai said.

"Yes! When we find him, we must ask him why he left us and ran away. If he plotted against me, I will kill him!" Hou Jinbo thought of his eldest brother who died tragically, and put the blame on Wei Yixian, viciously said.

The five people walked carefully in the second courtyard, not daring to touch the puppets on the ground.

To say that this second courtyard is indeed unique in its own way.

In the center of the courtyard are three consecutive palaces, one higher than the other. Viewed from the side, the three palaces are all made of sapphire as steps, white jade as railings, purple gold as pillars, carved beams and painted columns, and gilded cornices. They are magnificent.

On both sides of the triple palace, there are two rows of short houses, all with their doors open at this time. Judging from the number of them, they are exactly the same as the puppets in this place.

The door of the first level palace has been pushed open at this moment. Through the front door, you can see that the back door has also been opened, and a huge bronze tripod can be vaguely seen, standing on the platform in front of the second level palace.

There were originally two tall statues of alien beasts on the left and right sides of the first level of the palace, but now they had been broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground. It can be vaguely seen that it looks like a statue of a unicorn.

However, these two unicorn statues still have their beard and hair, and are lifelike. There is a faint flash of light among the fragments, and they have an extraordinary aura. The jade seat under the statue is even more covered with cracks, and it seems that it will completely crack with the slightest touch.

"It seems that these two statues have been broken for a long time." Hou Jinhai is an expert in antiques. Although he is not a Taoist, he can still see some clues at a glance.

"These two statues may be the protective formation eyes in this heavy courtyard." Qu Wumingchao looked around and said, "When the original attack came, the protective formation eyes would naturally be destroyed immediately. I'm afraid. The bodies of these two statues are not stones at all, but two real unicorns that were forcibly made into puppet-like statues. Death is considered a relief."

"I don't think the immortal's methods are much better than those of us who robber tombs." Hou Jinbo said with a sigh.

"The True Immortal Realm is just a place more suitable for cultivation. It's not a paradise on earth. It's a paradise." Ding Xian sneered, "I'm afraid the people there will fight harder."

"Yes, wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the same goes for immortals, ha..." Hou Jinhai said, stepping up the steps of the first level of the palace.

Maybe he moved a little faster, and the breeze and the vibration of his footsteps gently spread to the jade seat of a statue.

The jade seat was already covered with cracks, but when it was blown by the breeze, it made a snapping sound!

Everyone stopped in a hurry and became tense.

Click!

A second sound came from the Amyrlin.

Click!

The third sound sounded, and everyone felt something was wrong.

Kaka... bang! !

The Amyrlin throne finally burst into pieces after a few noises.

The white jade fragments rolled to the ground, and some of them were jumping and rolling happily on the jade steps, making a snapping sound, and bounced away from a puppet not far away.

"No!" Qu Wuming jumped out, the long sword in his hand thrust out like electricity, and the force of the two swords released the two jade fragments and fell to the ground. Then he took two steps forward and stopped them again. The third piece.

However, when he tried to knock away the last piece, the piece of jade had already flicked and hit the talisman attached to the puppet's forehead impartially!

The courtyard suddenly became quiet.

The talisman did not fall, and the puppet did not move!

Qu Wuming let out a long breath. Just as he was about to walk away, he heard the squeaking sound of mechanical friction coming from the other direction. He turned around and saw that a puppet had stood up!

"I..." Hou Jinbo said in a trembling voice, "I accidentally took a step back just now and kicked a stone away, which happened to be..."

"Get out of the way!" Hou Jinhai rushed over with his sword and slashed the puppet's chest.

I saw that when Hou Jinbo was speaking, the puppet had already turned its palm into a knife, and jumped forward to stab Hou Jinbo in the back of the heart! Just when the palm was about to hit, Hou Jinhai's knife had already hit the puppet's chest.

Just hearing a loud clang, Hou Jinhai suddenly felt his wrist go numb, his mouth was in pain, and it felt like the long knife had struck an iron plate! The puppet's movements did not change at all. It just paused briefly and then continued to attack Hou Jinbo.

Hou Jinbo bent down, then rolled on the ground, barely dodging the palm, then turned around on the ground and slashed at the puppet's legs with the long knife in his hand.

Perhaps the puppet has not been activated for too long, or there is not much energy left inside, so the puppet's reaction does not seem to be very fast. After missing a hit, he did not continue to attack, but turned around and grabbed Hou Jinhai.

How could Hou Jinhai miss it? He dodged, raised his long knife, and chopped off the puppet's wrist.

There were only two clanging sounds, and two sparks shot up where the two men's long knives came into contact with the puppet, but they were not able to hurt the puppet at all! On the contrary, Hou Jinbo and Hou Jinhai were so shocked that their wrists were sore and numb, and they could hardly hold the long sword.

The puppet didn't make a sound, and slapped Hou Jinbo with his hand, hitting him firmly on the shoulder.

Just hearing a muffled bang, Hou Jinbo's shoulders suddenly collapsed, and he screamed, rolled out like a gourd on the ground, and hit another puppet with his head, forcing the puppet's face to his The talisman fell down.

The puppet's eyes, which were originally closed, immediately opened their eyes, and a strange red light shone in the eye sockets. Hou Jinbo and the puppet looked at each other. They were so frightened that they forgot about the pain for a moment and cried out.

However, the cry only lasted for a moment. The puppet's hands had already inserted into his chest with a pop, and then moved left and right, forcibly tearing Hou Jinbo's chest in half!

"Your swords are not good enough!" Qu Wuming had already reached the target at this time. With a sweeping sweep of his long sword, he cut off the newly awakened puppet's head with one strike.

On the other side, Tong Xiangyu had already taken action and cut the first puppet into two sections!

"Third brother!!!" Hou Jinhai was heartbroken. He was about to pounce, but he didn't expect that the puppet on the ground that had been cut into two sections could still move, and he grabbed his ankle with a bang!

Hou Jinhai was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and his ankle seemed to be bound by an iron hoop, unable to move. He suddenly struggled to pull his foot out, but who knew that the puppet's hand was so strong that there was a click sound, and Hou Jinhai was so frightened that he could not move his ankle. Jin Hai's ankle was pinched off!

"Ah..." Hou Jinhai screamed, unsteady and fell to the ground.

Just as Tong Xiangyu was about to chop off half of the puppet's head, she heard Ding Xian shout from the side: "No! Those talismans are probably going to be ineffective!"

Tong Xiangyu and Qu Wuming hurriedly looked around, only to see that the talisman attached to the body of the puppet was no longer shining with golden light at this time - the golden light on it had become extremely dim, and it would appear and disappear very soon. It will be completely darkened.

"Destroy a few more first!" Qu Wuming shouted, taking the first action, turning his sword into a knife and cutting off the head of the nearest puppet, and then rushed towards the other puppet next to him!

Taoist Tong Xiangyu and Ding Xian heard the words and immediately took action. They swung their swords and chopped off the heads of more than ten puppets in a short time.

However, the total number of puppets in the courtyard was more than thirty. Before all three of them were "killed", the talismans attached to the remaining ten puppets had all dimmed.

The eyes of the fifteen or six puppets lit up with a strange red light at the same time, and they all stood up amidst a burst of creaking noises.
