There was a fight outside just now, unlike the disciples of Yulingzong who immediately released their monsters to cooperate with them, the first reaction of Xiao Ran and Zhou Xi was to send the little fur ball and Xiao Huihui into the Yuling ring.

Although the little gray sparrow is already a monster in the bone refining stage, the three firebirds are not good at attacking, and it is still wearing a simple "disguise" now, so it is difficult to reveal its true identity.

From the appearance alone, they are compared with the black panther at the bone refinement stage beside Li Haoqi... Well, well, let the two little guys rest for a while!

Now that everything has returned to calm, everyone has to wait for Jintingmen and Taihu Qiao's great ability to study those puppets.

And the little furball and little gray bird returned to Xiao Ran's arms and Zhou Xi's shoulders.

The little gray sparrow jumped a few times on Zhou Xi's shoulders, then stopped and looked at several large and small monsters in the hall with its black peas eyes.

Looking around, it naturally turned its attention to the most eye-catching black panther, but it didn't feel that Ugin was much more powerful than the little furball.

After all, in the eyes of the little gray bird, no matter how big the fur ball is, it is also a fur ball. How can it be so luxurious and beautiful~

But for the little furball, Ugin's existence is not so dispensable.

Whether it is in terms of body shape or cultivation, the current state of the panther is very good, and its slender and fit body shows its powerful strength.

Xiao Ran witnessed the battle between Wujin and the puppet, there was no fur ball, but what he saw in front of his eyes was enough to make the little guy's fluff all over his body explode, his back arched, and he looked very vigilant.

Now that Xiao Ran and Jianxiu are by his side, the little hairball doesn't intend to hide, rather it has an aura of "someone behind the baby will ask you if you are afraid".

Watching the black panther standing up and casting his gaze towards them, Xiao Ran noticed the condition of the little thing in his arms, touched the quilt of the little fur ball with his hand, and asked in a voice transmission: "Are you hungry? "

This trick is usually used by Xiao Ran to divert the little furball's attention, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.

Sure enough, the little guy turned his head when he heard Xiao Ran's words, and stopped paying attention to Ujin, as if he was thinking very seriously about whether his little belly was hungry or not.

Xiao Ran didn't get an answer right away, so he probed the little furball's stomach with his hands to make sure it was ready to be fed.

However, it seemed a little disrespectful to feed the little furball in such a serious occasion with real monks from various sects present, so Xiao Ran took the initiative to avoid it in the side room next to it.

Those mysterious sneak attackers can launch attacks outside the stronghold of Sanxiu League, which shows that the surrounding area is not too peaceful.

It was impossible for Qiao Heng and Zhou Xi to let Xiao Ran go away alone, so they left Qiao Laozu to continue to pay attention to the puppet affairs, and Zhou Xi and Xiao Ran went to the ear room together.

By the way, Zhou Xi will tell Xiao Ran about Qiao Shi and the puppet.

Wu Jin saw Xiao Ran walking out with the little fur ball in his arms, and followed him a few steps towards the door. Li Haoqi called it softly, and Wu Jin returned to his master.

"Do you like that little thing?" Li Haoqi asked Hei Bao with a smile, only to get a cold expression of "expressionless" from the other party.

While this is not a negative answer, it is definitely not a positive answer either.

Li Haoqi didn't care about Wu Jin's indifference, but patted Hei Bao's back affectionately, and continued: "You were so cute when you were young, a round lump."

He also made a gesture with his hand, and it seemed that the black panther was indeed not much bigger than the little fur ball.

Wu Jin whipped Li Haoqi's leg with his thick and long tail, obviously expressing his inner dissatisfaction.

The tail looked scary, but it was actually just lightly slapped on Li Haoqi's leg, so not only did the slapped person not restrain himself, but he even laughed more happily.

Seeing the young master "flirting" with Wu Jin in public, the other golden core of Yulingzong couldn't help but feel a sense of pride when he thought about the two golden core monsters from Qingyumen that he had just seen.

He said to Li Haoqi via sound transmission: "This fellow Taoist of Qingyumen really has a special taste."

The silver-graded kitten and the gray bird... it seems like the pets that those nurturing women come to amuse their boredom.

Li Haoqi understood his companion's ridicule, but he didn't answer. He seemed to glance unintentionally at Old Ancestor Qiao sitting in the upper seat, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

——The guy who can attract Ugin's attention... Even if it looks like such a palm-sized cat, how can it be an ordinary kitten?

——I just don’t know the origin of this little thing that looks like it’s still drinking milk... Looking at it like this, I really can’t tell what kind of blood it is... If my father or uncle came over, I might be able to tell something!

……

Xiao Ran and Zhou Xi came to the ear room and took out the water sac containing milk to the little fur ball. The little guy immediately forgot about the "big black ball" in the next room, and hugged the water sac with his little claws, blah blah drink up.

While drinking, he looked at the little gray bird, as if inviting the other party to "have lunch" with his eyes, but the little gray bird obviously ignored it, and flew out after flapping its wings.

Zhou Xi watched the little gray sparrow fly to the branch outside and stood on the branch to comb its feathers. After he was relieved, he planned to talk to Xiao Ran about the relationship between the Taihu Qiao family and the puppet.

Although it was in the ear room, with the powerful ears of those next door, I'm afraid they could hear clearly within this distance, so when Zhou Xi talked to Xiao Ran, he also passed sound transmission into secret.

"I didn't mention it to you before, because it is true that as the real person Jianquan said, Qiao's has not refined a puppet for many years, at least the public information is like this."

"Could it be that they themselves said they would not do it?"

"Well, Master Jianquan announced it to the outside world, and it has been more than 100 years since now. At that time, the War of Demon Dao hadn't even started."

"So Joe's puppet is very famous?"

"You also know that both Jintingmen and Qiao's are good at refining weapons. Puppets, as magical weapons that can be used for both offense and defense, were sought after by monks for a while, but because of their high value, not most people can use them rise."

Even Xiao Ran, who had never used a puppet before, expressed his understanding of this point.

Compared with ordinary instruments, puppets have a great advantage in braking, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.

But to make them "move" through mechanisms, a series of meticulous and precise processes are absolutely required.If it wasn't for master craftsmen like Jintingmen or Qiao's, they might not be able to make it.

"The puppets of Jintingmen are usually called golden puppets because they are mainly made of copper and iron. Qiao's puppets are mainly made of ebony and decorated with lacquer on the outside. They are more like real people, so they are called wooden puppets, or puppet."

"So just now when everyone saw that the puppet was made of wood instead of copper and iron, they immediately thought of Qiao's puppet."

"Whether it's Qiao's puppet or not, I'm afraid we need to investigate further. Master Jianquan should be able to tell the difference."

"Then since they are popular, why don't Jintingmen and Qiao's continue to make golden puppets and puppets?" This is the question that Xiao Ran wanted to ask.

"It's still related to their expensiveness. The cost of making a puppet is too high and it takes too long. For the craftsman himself, it is a matter that requires full concentration and consumes energy. With the same time and experience, making a puppet It’s better to make three or four medium-grade magic tools for a puppet, not to mention, activating a puppet requires a lot of spirit stones, which is much faster than activating a magic weapon!”

Zhou Xi explained: "The most important thing is that although a puppet looks like a human being, it is still an instrument, which is prone to failure and damage, and cannot repair itself, so it must be maintained frequently... Simply put, this is a process from scratch. Most people really can’t afford precious things that require a lot of painstaking effort from the creator.”

After thinking for a while, he decided to tell Xiao Ran a secret reason why Qiao gave up the puppet: "Xiaoheng's father, Jian'an Zhenren, is said to be because he focused on making a puppet and spent too much energy, which led to mental exhaustion. The result was not good. Be careful that the cauldron of the refining device exploded, and the husband and wife were both injured and fell."

Not knowing that there was such a sad story behind this, Xiao Ran fell silent immediately upon hearing this.

Although Master Ted doesn't seem to be very close to his son, the two are close blood relatives. If Master Jian'an and his wife really fell because of puppets, Master Ted would never want to see these things in his life.

"There are not many people in Qiao's who know about this matter, so when they announced the news of Jian'an's fall, they didn't emphasize the details. It was only when I brought Xiaoheng back to Qiao's that I heard Jianzhang vaguely mention it."

Zhou Xi touched the little fur ball that was playing with his tail in Xiao Ran's arms just after drinking the milk, his expression was a little gloomy.

"Later, Qiao's no longer made puppets, and Jintingmen also announced that they would no longer make golden puppets. The two refining sects felt that it was too uneconomical to be a puppet, and they didn't want to be troubled by those who got the puppets, so they simply stopped. Refining... so many years have passed, and fewer and fewer people are talking about it."

After a while, Xiao Ran finally said: "Since it's something that hasn't appeared for so many years, but now it suddenly appears, who made these puppets should be the key, right?"

"I always feel that this puppet came too strangely. I don't know if it has anything to do with the attacker."

"You mean, maybe the person who released the puppet today is not the same as the person who attacked the doors back then?" Xiao Ran immediately heard Zhou Xi's implication.

"Is there any relationship? There is no conclusive evidence yet, so I can't be sure... But what is certain is that the appearance of these puppets is to make us pay more attention to Joe."

"That's right, the other party knew that when we saw the puppets, they would think that someone was framing Taihu Qiao's, but they still sent them to our door. It can be seen that their purpose is not to frame them."

"If this is the case, there must be something left on the puppet, but I don't know if it will still be related to Qiao."

"San Xiumeng should have spread the news to Taihu Qiao's by now. I don't know how Master Ted and Master Jianzhang will view this matter and what actions they will take."

……

When Xiao Ran and the others returned to the main hall, they found that everyone looked a little dignified.

Coming to Qiao Heng, Zhou Xi asked, "Any special discoveries?"

Qiao Heng glanced at the real person Jianquan with a bad face, nodded and said: "According to the preliminary judgment of real person Jianquan, this is probably what Qiao's puppet did."

When Xiao Ran and Zhou Xi heard the words, they all looked at Master Jianquan.

This news is obviously not good for Joe.

With Yuanying from Jintingmen present, even if Master Jianquan didn't want to admit it, he had to admit this fact, but how could he believe that Qiao's would send puppets over to attack, so he said: "I'll take these puppets back, give them The real Ted..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Jiang Chen interrupted: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you to bring such a key evidence back to Qiao's."

Master Jianquan also knew that this was an unreasonable request. Although his face was full of grief and indignation, he couldn't continue to speak.

Seeing this, the manager of the Sanxiu League could only suggest: "In this case, I'm afraid it's still necessary to invite the real person Jianzhang to come here in person to see when these puppets were handed down from the Qiao family."
