Meihuawu is the largest and most prosperous city in the Baxian River Basin, but it does not have the luxury that Jiang Yuebai imagined. Instead, it has the simplicity and simplicity of a water town everywhere.
Jiang Yuebai walked among them, her pace and mood slowed down, sniffing the fragrance of plum blossoms and appreciating the beautiful scenery.
Taohuawu covers a large area, and there are rivers all over the city. There are merchants setting up stalls on both sides of the river in boats. A small boat is enough for low-level monks to travel.
Walking onto the arch bridge, flags were fluttering on the street ahead, pedestrians were everywhere, and the sound of hawking was endless. It was noisy and lively, and Jiang Yuebai saw many sights that could not be seen elsewhere.
So many puppets!
Almost all the monks walking on the road carry wooden or iron puppets with them, either in human or animal form, and they follow them every step of the way like spiritual pets.
Several wooden birds flew towards them with scrolls in their mouths. Jiang Yuebai turned sideways to avoid them, watching the wooden birds fly away. His eyes fell on the small boat filled with goods under the bridge. There was a vendor sleeping with a bamboo hat covering his face and pillowing his arms. Sitting next to him was a small wooden bird. Wooden puppet toad.
Facing inquiries from merchants, the puppet toad spit out green smoke from its mouth and turned it into numbers.
The merchants took away the goods and threw the spiritual stones into the open mouth of the puppet toad, without the vendors having to worry about the whole process.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes lit up, thinking that the puppet toad must also have attack power. If someone steals or makes trouble, the puppet toad will definitely fight back.
Walking off the arch bridge, Jiang Yuebai felt fresh everywhere he looked. He thought that it was indeed the residence of the Zhuge family, and there were practical puppets everywhere.
Those who solicit customers at the door, those who greet people in the store, those who move goods in side alleys, and those who deliver messages are all puppets.
On both sides of the main street, at every other section, there would be a two-person-tall black-armored puppet standing by the roadside holding a long-handled sword, like a statue, with a majestic aura.
Jiang Yuebai saw the word "Zhuge" on the chest of the black-armored puppet and guessed that it might be the guards placed by the Zhuge family in the city. If someone made trouble or the enemy attacked, these black-armored puppets would activate themselves.
"Bunny, be careful!"
Several children were laughing and playing, chasing each other on simple wooden wooden horses, and ran past Jiang Yuebai, leaving behind a string of laughter.
Jiang Yuebai stepped aside and smiled too.
"Urgent report, urgent report, give way!"
One person in the crowd behind held a big flag high, his legs were made entirely of complex and precise puppets, he walked as fast as flying, leaped three feet high, and kept jumping from the crowd.
"My stall!"
The crowd cursed and ducked, debris flew everywhere, and the chickens and dogs jumped.
A man carrying a strange wooden box was unable to dodge. There was a mechanical sound from the wooden box behind him, and it turned into a pair of wooden wings that suddenly unfolded, instantly carrying the man into the air.
"You're going to die!"
The man cursed angrily, folded his wooden wings and slowly landed on the ground.
"What an interesting place." Jiang Yuebai admired, turning around to see a bookstore. Various books and jade slips were placed at the door, and there was also a golden toad puppet guarding beside it.
Jiang Yuebai immediately walked over and scanned the stalls. Basically, they were all books related to puppets, as well as the cultivation experiences of famous masters, travel notes, etc.
"Master Yanjia? Yin Yang Family? What is this?"
Jiang Yuebai casually picked up a blue book without any seal, which looked like an introduction to basic knowledge, and quickly flipped through it.
While he was watching it with great interest, a dark wind suddenly blew up from the ground next to him, and then a ghost figure emerged from the ground.
"Give me Mr. Nangong's third volume of Yanshi's Experience."
Gua!
The golden toad puppet spit out green smoke, and the ghost shadow left behind the spiritual stone and took away the jade slip, and disappeared.
Jiang Yuebai was watching the whole process. Although he was a ghost, the yin energy on his body did not penetrate people, and there was a talisman between his eyebrows, which was like a righteous way to control the soul. He should absorb the yin energy from the ground instead of living things. People eat blood.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes returned to the book in her hand. She had just seen that in the Zhuge family, they subdivided the Puppet Path into two branches.
One lineage is a Yanjia master who is proficient in various mechanisms and puppet making techniques. The other lineage is the Yin and Yang family, specializing in controlling Yin and Yang puppets.
Master Yanjia is easy to understand. He is the puppet master and machine master that Jiang Yuebai used to think of him.
The Yin Yang family is somewhat like a collection of beast masters and ghost masters.
The yin in the yin and yang family refers to ghosts, spirits, and can be controlled by both humans and animals.
Yang refers to living creatures. It is written in the book that the powerful Yin Yang family can even directly control living monks and use them in battle.
It's quite scary when you think about it, and what excites Jiang Yuebai the most is that the Yin and Yang family specializes in cultivating the soul and has extremely high requirements for the soul.
Becoming a Yanjia master is easy, just study hard and practice hard, but becoming an Onmyoji requires talent.
There may not be even one Yin Yang family among ten thousand Yanjia masters.
In this way, the Yin Yang family of the Zhuge family must have very powerful divine soul skills, which may be able to make up for her current problem of the inability of the divine soul to match the chaotic body.
"How many spiritual stones does this book cost?"
Gua!
The puppet Jin Chan spit out the word '一'.
"Then how many spiritual stones do you need to buy them all?"
Jiang Yuebai waved her hand and wanted to buy all the books on the entire bookstall. The brand-new knowledge made her blood boil. She had to buy them all, take them home and read them all night long.
The puppet Golden Toad was sluggish for a moment, and it took about ten breaths before spitting out a number.
Fortunately, it was within the range that Jiang Yuebai could bear. The books on the bookstall outside were not valuable. The jade slips of books on martial arts that were sealed layer by layer in the bookstore were valuable items.
After buying it, Jiang Yuebai didn't have time to continue shopping. He immediately looked for a place to stay and couldn't wait to start reading.
At this moment, a green-faced and disheveled female ghost in red appeared under a tree by the river opposite.
Although she had changed into red clothes, if Jiang Yuebai saw her, he would definitely recognize her as Yan Hongyu, the 'Mountain God' she met when she first entered the Upper Realm and unexpectedly fell into the Iron Palm Realm.
Jiang Yuebai didn't see her, but she saw Jiang Yuebai's figure disappearing in the blink of an eye. She opened her eyes excitedly. Just as she was about to catch up, another figure emerged from the ground next to her. It was the same figure who was captured together with her. Jiang Yuebai defeated Guangling.
"What are you looking at?" Guangling frowned and looked in the direction Yan Hongyu was looking.
Yan Hongyu shrank her head in fear, her eyes flickering, "No...it's nothing."
Guang Ling's expression was displeased, and he exuded the pressure of the golden elixir stage, which shocked Yan Hongyu, who was only at the peak of Qi training. Both his and Yan Hongyu's eyebrows bore rune marks like mountains.
"Remember your current status. Everything you have is given by the Lord. It's best not to have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. Otherwise, without the Lord taking action, I can wipe you out in an instant."
Yan Hongyu twisted her clothes, her eyes were covered by her messy hair, and she cursed in her heart that Guangling was a bitch than her when facing Jiang Yuebai, but now he is showing off to her like a bitch!
"Why are you still standing there, why don't you buy what the Lord wants?"
Yan Hongyu squeezed out a dog-legged smile and said, "Don't be upset, Master. I'll go right now."
Yan Hongyu secretly glanced at the direction Jiang Yuebai left, immediately walked in the opposite direction, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Guang Ling stood there, looking thoughtfully at the other side of the river, his eyes gradually narrowed.
"Who did she see?"
