Wang Zhengrong looked at Shen Huanchi and Shen Jinghua in a mysterious way before he said:

　　 "I wonder if the two fellow Taoists have heard of puppets?"

　　 "Puppets?" Shen Huanchi and Shen Jinghua were taken aback first, and then they remembered something.

According to ancient records, puppetry is also a kind of cultivation skills. The monks who make puppets are called puppet masters. They can make puppets of various shapes from mysterious steel, iron wood and other materials, and then engrave them on their bodies. Put on the runes, and finally attach the soul to them.

　　In this way, a dead thing will have a trace of spirituality, can act according to the ideas of the monk who refines it, and will never betray!

　　 But the inheritance of puppets is extremely rare. Puppetry is even more integrated with craftsmanship, formation, talisman making, and ecstasy, so few people can become puppet masters.

　　 Like the Lingnan Cultivation Realm, there has not been a puppet master. The reason is that there is no inheritance of puppet art. Only a few words about the puppet are left in the ancient books.

　　 "Isn't the puppet a product of the Central Plains Cultivation Realm, how can I be in Lingnan?" Shen Huanchi frowned and said.

　　 "Lingnan land has no puppets today, but do fellow Taoists remember the Lu family in Jiangmin County two hundred years ago?" Wang Zhengrong asked rather solemnly, with a hint of fear in his tone.

　　 Shen Huanchi seemed to think of something after hearing Wang Zhengrong's words, his face changed drastically, his face was full of gloomy.

　　 And Shen Jinghua also remembered some Xin Mi he saw in the Zongmen scroll.

　　 Two hundred years ago, the Lu family in Jiangmin County accidentally discovered a predecessor's cave in the Nu River, and the most valuable thing from it was a few scraps of puppet-making pictures.

At that time, the Lu family was a powerful group. There were several foundation-building monks in the clan. The ancestor Lu Jing was an ambitious man. Relying on these few broken pictures, he wanted to become the first puppet master on the land of Lingnan. Is to create an army of puppets!

　　 But I have to say that this Lu Jing is also a wizard of the sky, relying on the few incomplete drawings, he became the first puppet master in Lingnan after more than ten years of retreat.

　　 However, Lu Jing's own research into puppetry is only a crooked way, not an orthodox puppet inheritance.

　　 The orthodox puppet master strips the soul of the dead monster beast, and then attaches it to the puppet using a special method. Although this method is cruel, monsters and monks are hunting each other, so this kind of puppet technique is also tolerated by the world.

　　 But the puppet technique created by Lu Jing is inspired by the monk’s spirit to inject life into the puppet. What's more, he actually took the uncremated corpses of the dead monks into puppets, and redefined them into another kind of puppets, corpse puppets!

Under Lu Jing’s instructions, the Lu family secretly started hunting monks and digging human ancestral graves. First, they hunted and killed ordinary casual cultivators, stripped their spirits, and used them to replace the spirits of monsters to achieve complementation. The purpose of puppetry.

　　 In Lu Jing’s attempts, countless casual cultivators lost their lives in Lu Jing’s hands. Gradually, the Lu family secretly looked at the cemetery of those families, making the families under the Qingyun four counties panic, and one after another they pointed their fingers at their rival families.

　　 In the end, in order to create a puppet comparable to the foundation-building monks, Lu Jing even started to instruct the family monks to hunt down the past foundation-building monks.

　　 This incident completely alarmed the Law Enforcement Hall of Qingyunmen, and sent Zhuji disciples to start a thorough investigation.

　　 Qingyunmen only found the Lu family after the death and injury of several Ji-Zhu disciples, but the Lu family at that time was no longer what it used to be. There were only five puppets comparable to the peak of Ji-Zhu.

　　 Facing the powerful Lu family, Qingyunmen gathered a large number of family monks, and it even shocked the Jindan monks who had been retreating all year round.

　　 At that time, the Shen family was also recruited by a literary elder and dozens of Qi practicing monks.

After Brother Jin Dan took the shot, the Lu family also showed real fangs, and that Lu Jing actually used his physical body as a corpse puppet to refine, refined some fourth-order spiritual materials on himself, and just made himself into it. A killing monster that is neither human nor ghost.

　　 But it is this monster that has the power comparable to the golden core, and can compete with the golden core of Qingyunmen.

　　 That battle can be said to be the nightmare of the foundation building family. Except for the foundation building monk, the Shen family escaped, and all the remaining members of the Qi training period died in the battle, directly shaking the foundation of the Shen family.

　　 It is precisely because of that change that caused the Shen family's talents to have a fault, and laid the roots for the future decline of the Shen family.

　　 After the war, that batch of evil puppets were burned down by Qingyunmen. Even the corpse puppet method invented by Lu Jing was wiped out, and the Lu family was slaughtered.

　　 And those precious puppet drawings were collected in the Qingyunmen Buddhist Scripture Pavilion, and they are not allowed to be used without the permission of the master!

　　……

　　 Shen Huanchi recovered from the grief, and asked inexplicably:

　　 "Didn't those puppets have been destroyed by Qingyunmen? I remember that the Lu family ended up in a massacre, right?"

Shen Jinghua beside 　　 also opened his mouth and said:

　　 "As far as I know, no senior in Qingyunmen has realized authentic puppetry in these years!"

　　Wang Zhengrong glanced at the two of them, and finally said with a proud expression on his face:

"The Golden Core cultivator who shot that time was our ancestor, and the puppets ordered to be destroyed were also my ancestors. Most of the puppets during the base-building period were damaged on the battlefield. The rest of the trial has indeed been destroyed, but during the training period. The puppet ancestor secretly let our Wang family keep a few!"

　　 After hearing Wang Zhengrong's words, both Shen Huanchi looked surprised. They secretly hid these things under the eyes of Qingyunmen, and only the Jindan family dared to do it.

　　 "For the sake of the Taoist friends taking out this spiritual stone vein, I only told the dao friends about this family, so..." Wang Zhengrong said with a smile, and the implication was beyond words.

"I understand!" Shen Huanchi and Shen Jinghua looked at each other, and at the same time they looked at the Wang Family's background a little bit more highly. The Wang Family even hid the puppets of the Qi training period, and it was only the Wang Family who were in the foundation building period. I'm clear in my heart.

"As long as these puppets inject spirit stones into them, they will dig around day and night, and then equip them with second-order magical instruments, which is far more efficient than monks! And you only need to send one or two people to the Shen family. The monk can just look at it." Wang Zhengrong had obviously imagined the scene of the puppet digging the spirit stone in this crypt.

　　 "It's so good, it also reduces the risk of Lingshi vein exposure!" Shen Huanchi nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, although this place is in the lake, there are still foundation-building monks of Qingyunmen in Nanhu. There are some hidden dangers. I can apply to the General Affairs Hall to be a errand so that I can keep this spiritual vein!" Shen Jinghua thought. He said at once.

　　 "I think it is feasible, I will let the fifth uncle of the Zongmen run it for you!" Wang Zhengrong nodded.

　　 "Then I would like to thank Daoist Wang first!" Shen Huanchi thanked him ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Daoist Shen is polite, it's all a family business! "

"The Taoist friends said that since the mining matters have been discussed, let's decide on the distribution!" Shen Huanchi glanced at Wang Zhengrong and said, the next one is the most sensitive issue. If the next division is divided Can't agree, the previous ones are useless.

　　Wang Zhengrong remembered the words Wang Qiyan confessed when he left, so he just smiled and asked:

　　 "I don't know how friends are going to distribute?"

　　 "Taoists account for 60%, how about we account for 40%?"

　　 Shen Huanchi put forward the idea. Originally, Shen Huanchi only planned to divide it into five to five. But this time, although the Shen family provided spiritual veins, the Wang family used some family heritage and methods, so Shen Huanchi gave in at the end.

　　 "Is it wrong to be so afraid?" Wang Zhengrong shook his head.

　　 "What do you think?" Shen Huanchi's words already contained a hint of dissatisfaction. He was sincere enough. Wang Zhengrong was too ignorant of current affairs. He really thought he was begging him!

　　 saw that Wang Zhengrong had also discovered Shen Huanchi's strangeness, and knew that it was a misunderstanding, and then he smiled and said:

　　 "Friends of Daoist misunderstood, I mean everyone divides this vein equally!"

　　 Shen Huanchi originally thought that Wang Zhengrong was not satisfied with the assignment just now, but they didn't expect it to be too much!

　　 "If you can think of cooperating with my Wang family, you can already value my Wang family. How can you let the Taoist family suffer?" Wang Zhengrong took it for granted.

　　 Seeing that Shen Huanchi had to shirk, Wang Zhengrong quickly said:

　　 "That's it, I will bring the puppets in a few days!"

　　 "This...then thank fellow daoists!" Shen Huanchi hesitated for a moment, and said a little embarrassingly.
