"Xiaoyu! Are you out of seclusion?"
Xiaoyu said calmly: "Well, come into the workshop and take a look at the puppets I made."
Song Xin entered Shanshui Lingze in a flash, and Song Yu and Huang Pi came out to greet him. They all changed into new puppet bodies, looking heroic and radiant, completely different from before.
"Master, please don't be sad..." Song Yu looked apologetic, as if he had made a mistake.
Song Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Okay Song Yu, this has nothing to do with you."
As soon as they arrived at the door of the workshop, they saw a group of delicate-looking men and women walking out. When they saw Song Xin, they all bowed and saluted. These are naturally the ghost soldiers...
Song Xin was really uncomfortable with this situation.
"Sir, His Highness is waiting inside. Please come in," Song Yu said.
Song Xin hurriedly walked in. At this time, there was a slim girl standing in the courtyard of the workshop. She was dressed in white dark clothes and her hair hung down behind her head. She turned her head when she heard Song Xin's footsteps.
Song Xin immediately recognized the girl in front of him and was instantly stunned. "Xiaoyu? Is that you?"
"What, you don't look like me anymore?" Xiaoyu looked at Song Xin's dumbfounded look and covered her mouth with a smile.
"You have a puppet too."
"Well, I made one for myself. What do you think?" Xiaoyu raised her arms and turned around.
"Incredible, incredible." Song Xin praised repeatedly. The Xiaoyu in front of her was simply astonishing, and there was almost no flaw to be found. Her current appearance is no less impressive than the great demon Su Yuwan she met in the black market.
Seeing Song Xin in a daze, Xiaoyu covered her mouth and chuckled: "This puppet uses a blue demon pill, as well as those demon spirits. It's all because of you that I successfully completed this puppet."
"I see that the puppet this time is much more powerful!"
Xiaoyu said: "This time there are enough materials and manpower, enough for us to make forty puppets, and they are all five-element puppets of good quality. Even if they are broken again, there are replacement ones we can use!" I also made some ordinary puppets from old materials, so that when I take care of the garden on weekdays, I don’t have to use such precious puppets to do rough work.”
Song Xin asked curiously: "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, are these puppets divided into three, six, and nine grades? Aren't they divided according to their materials?"
Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "Materials and craftsmanship are of course important, but the refining method determines the strength of the puppet. If we really want to rank them, they are bronze puppets, stainless steel puppets, spiritual wood puppets and five element puppets. The first few times The improved puppets are all spirit wood puppets, and although they are considered powerful, they are all mixed with ordinary materials, so naturally they are not as powerful as the Five Elements Puppet made this time."
Song Xin nodded. Only Xiaoyu knew how to make puppets. It was said that he got the technique from some Gongshen clan, and there was no record of this even in the Yuqian Record.
Xiaoyu walked to Song Xin and reached out to gently hold his arm. Song Xin's face suddenly turned red.
"What? You're still blushing when you see me?"
Song Xin looked embarrassed and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't get used to it all of a sudden..."
Xiaoyu smiled sweetly and said, "Come on, let's go outside for a walk, and you tell me about Guo Miao."
They walked slowly along the mossy stone road in the town. Song Xin rarely
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come and wander around this town. But I found that only by walking in and looking bit by bit can I discover the unique tranquility and beauty here. He told her everything that happened after Xiaoyu went into seclusion.
Finally, the two of them walked to a pavilion on the edge of the town and sat down.
Seeing that his face was still a little sad, Xiaoyu comforted her softly: "Actually, this also shows that your position in her heart is even higher than that of his brother and parents. If she forgets someone else, wouldn't she also be in pain? "
"I don't know either. When I think about this, I feel a mess in my heart."
"Perhaps this is a good thing for her." Xiaoyu said.
"I understand what you mean. I am a cultivator, and the right and wrong cause and effect on my body may not be something that a mortal can bear. Luo Tian's attack on her this time is a clear proof..."
Xiaoyu heard the guilt in his words and could only comfort her softly: "I don't think you need to worry too much. Face it calmly. As the saying goes, the world is a Taoist place, and practice is like this."
"That's all I can think of..." Song Xin smiled bitterly.
Xiaoyu smiled sweetly and said, "By the way, Song Yu said that he opened a medicine garden. How about we go and have a look together?"
Song Xin nodded, and Xiaoyu came to the foot of the waterfall in Konghou Stone Mountain. The few acres of open space not far from the waterfall had been turned into a medicine garden by the puppets. At this time, there were still several wooden puppets working inside.
The puppets also dug a cave at the foot of the stone mountain, specially used to cultivate some medicinal materials and mushrooms that do not like light.
At this time, the medicinal materials have not yet sprouted, so the aroma of medicinal herbs will surely overflow here soon. If Song Xin could break through to the Qi Practitioner stage, he could start learning alchemy, and he would have an endless supply of elixirs.
Seeing Song Xin and Xiaoyu arriving, a puppet that looked like a young woman came over and saluted them.
"Song Wu, did Huang Pi ask you to take care of this medicine garden?" Xiaoyu asked, looking at the busy wooden puppets in the garden.
"Your Highness, that's exactly what it is."
"Well, I heard that you were an expert at growing medicinal herbs during your lifetime. You took good care of the garden and didn't neglect your cultivation."
"Song Wu obeys the order." After saying that, she walked back to the medicine garden and continued to plant medicinal materials.
Song Xin asked: "By the way, Xiaoyu, were you ghosts once human?"
"Some are, some are not. Ghost pawns like Song Yu and others were once humans. After death, their souls were taken away by the ghost clan, or sent to reincarnation, or trained to become ghost pawns. The advantage of ghost pawns is that they can retain the memories of their lives. . When you come to this world, you will not be suppressed by heaven's punishment. But I and Youjing were both born in the soul world. If we want to come here, we will be suppressed by heaven's punishment. Ever since I broke through the Soul Ascension Realm, I can already feel the faint pressure, so I have to make a puppet. Only by completely hiding the soul power can I walk in the outside world."
"I see. No wonder you didn't want to come out often after you reached the Soul Ascension Realm. I thought you felt comfortable here and didn't want to leave."
Xiaoyu said: "Now that things have happened, I can tell you something. The Ghost Clan is an extraterritorial race. And we are not the only extraterritorial race. It's just that we have signed a contract with the Pangu Realm and can come in to collect souls and stabilize the balance of Yin and Yang. .”
"Pangu Realm?" Song Xin frowned curiously when he heard the name. He knew the story of Pangu's creation of the sky, but where did this Pangu realm begin?
"Well, you
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The place where it is located is one of the small worlds in the Pangu Realm. Each small world has its own operating rules, but sometimes when two small worlds intersect, some unexpected things will happen. "
"Such as if I traveled through time?" Song Xin asked.
"Exactly, maybe it was the moment when your little world and this little world intersected, and you happened to be pushed off the tall building. This kind of thing is extremely rare."
"What is the extraterritorial race you just mentioned?"
"The extraterritorial races are outside the Pangu realm, and there are some powerful creatures. If they want to enter here, they will be suppressed by the punishment of heaven here. The more powerful the creatures come in, the stronger the punishment of heaven will suppress them. If If Youjing and I can come in here, I'm afraid this small world can't bear it and will collapse immediately. And we will be directly bombarded by heaven's punishment until our souls are gone. When we come in, our cultivation will be 99% lost. A lot of memories will be lost as well.”
"But if you have a puppet, don't you have to be afraid?"
"Currently, this puppet is only suitable for use in the soul-ascension stage. When it reaches a higher level, it will be necessary to find better materials to make the puppet to live in, or it can only stay in this pure lotus vase."
"Huh, so that's it." Song Xin didn't expect that the punishment from heaven would be so severe today. No wonder Yu Ji was so scared that he hid in the jade ring and refused to come out no matter what.
"By the way, your luck has increased a lot recently." Xiaoyu glanced at the sky.
Song Xin also looked up at the sky, where the human figure was made up of stars. "But you can't take it lightly. You have to think carefully when exchanging spells. If you run out of energy, God's punishment will directly wipe you out."
Song Xin nodded, "I understand."
At this moment, Bangu came down from the mountain, bowed respectfully to Song Xin and Xiaoyu and said, "Your Highness, Young Master, the expansion of the practice room has been completed."
"You expanded the practice room?"
"Exactly, sir, why don't you come with me and take a look?"
They came to Xingshang Garden together, and when Song Xin walked into the practice room, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The space here has been expanded three times, with targets for various experimental spells and areas for practicing archery. Song Xin couldn't help but marveled at the spacious place where horses could be raced.
Not only that, but functional rooms such as a weapons room, a puppet storage room, and a workshop were also opened next to the training room. Ban Gu has moved all the weapons collected in the small town at the foot of the mountain and stored them in the weapons room according to categories. In the puppet storage room, puppets made of various materials are neatly placed.
The workshop is still empty, obviously the ghost soldiers haven't moved the workshop down the mountain yet.
With this series of surprises, Song Xin's depression was slightly diluted as the world began to look more vibrant.
In the days that followed, Song Xin tried her best not to think about Guo Miao, and she never came to look for him again. Song Xin returned to his original simple and fulfilling life, going to the Prime Minister's Mansion to study with him during the day, and coming here to practice at night. He finished learning several original spells behind Qiufu Gongfa.
Perhaps due to the recent changes, his sea of consciousness gradually reached the critical point of the second level of the warlock. Finally one night, his sea of consciousness broke through to the third level of the warlock, which was on par with the spiritual core and body refining.
On this day, as soon as Song Xin returned home, he saw Guo Yi coming in a hurry on horseback.
"No, Brother Song, something happened!" he shouted.
