Tao Mo didn't speak, but his eyes were slightly dark. Ever since he walked around the pavilion of Young Master Mo, he had doubts about it.Young Master Mo specialized in mechanism art, and he was obviously not as proficient in puppet art as Young Master Mo Third. The puppets he produced also had a rough style of a machine armor man, which was completely opposite to Mo Bin's delicate carving techniques.

He originally thought that the puppet with the broken arm was made by Young Master Mo, but he couldn't figure out why the other party engraved the puppet made by Young Master Mo with Mo Bin's coat of arms.

It's just for framing, it's extremely far-fetched, maybe it's because of some other reason.

Bai Wangyan thought for a moment, and continued to search for the door leading to the Xianhu Courtyard. The white-clothed scholar raised his hand and groped for the closed iron door, looking like a white crane with its wings raised. Suddenly, Something was hooked by his fingers from the gap in the door, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.Bai Wangyan bent down, picked up the thing, held it in his hand and observed it carefully.

"What's the matter?" Mo Bin was a little surprised seeing his abnormal movements, but Tao Mo had excellent eyesight, and could see exactly what was in Bai Wangyan's hand at a glance.

It was a small piece of iron with a sharp tip, somewhat resembling a human finger.

Bai Wangyan picked up the thing carefully, went downstairs quickly, and came towards the two of them. He handed the thing to Third Young Master Mo and asked, "Look, Ziwen, this should be the same thing as those two pieces. Up."

Mo Bin took a closer look, and couldn't help but let out an "ah". He hurriedly found out the piece of iron he was keeping for comparison, pointed to the part with the same vein on it, and said quickly, "This is indeed a piece of meteorite. You The piece I just found should be the fingertip, and the pattern should be left over from the forging."

Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows: "So, this is really a hand?"

"It's really hard to be sure about the two pieces before, but this one," Mo Sanshao pointed to the small piece of iron point he just found with great certainty, "You're right, this is the fingertip, meteorite claw." He said Emphasizing the name again, he looked at Bai Wangyan and asked in surprise, "Wangyan, how did you know that this thing would be left by the door?"

"Try your luck," Bai Wangyan replied casually, "I just guess there will be a little trace left over there, after all, if a whole meteoric iron claw is crushed and sinks into the lake, there will inevitably be a few pieces will fall elsewhere."

He wanted to applaud Bai Wangyan, but at this moment, the third young master Mo could only twitch the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely forced smile. With such a smile, he stretched out his hand and patted the white-clothed scholar on the shoulder: "Thank you. "

For his friend's attitude, Bai Wangyan stretched his eyebrows. He knew what the other party was thanking him for, but at this moment, finding that the meteorite was a puppet claw does not mean that the real culprit can be caught, it only proves that the puppet with the broken arm extremely suspicious.Thinking of this, Bai Wangyan was taken aback for a moment. He stuffed the fragment of the claw into Mo Bin's hand, hurried to the iron gate, and called Tao Mo over: "Young Master Tao, please come here."

Although he didn't know why Bai Wangyan called him, Tao Mo walked quickly to his side with the sword in hand.Bai Wangyan stood by the gate of Tiange, pointed to the closed gate, and asked softly, "Tao Shaoxia, can you hear the movement outside?"

With the movement outside, is he suspecting that there is something wrong with those puppets?Tao Mo nodded, and listened for a while by sticking to the door. The sharp scratching noises outside stopped at some point, and became extremely quiet. sounded.

"There are people outside," Tao Mo said in a low voice, "It seems to be dragging something."

Hearing what Tao Mo said, Bai Wangyan frowned immediately. He clenched his fan tightly and couldn't make a specific decision for a while, but Tao Mo's reaction was extremely fast, and the black-clothed swordsman quickly pushed the heavy iron door open. Unlocking lightness kung fu, like an arrow leaving the string, he jumped out of the door in an instant, chasing after the source of the sound, and disappeared in an instant.

"Tao Shaoxia!" Bai Wangyan never thought that the speed of this young man in black would be so fast, but his footsteps were not as fast as Tao Mo's, so he could only sigh deeply: "This... It's too impulsive!"

Mo Bin watched Tao Mo rushing out like an arrow, and was extremely surprised for a moment: "Where is he going?" Just as he asked this sentence, the third young master Mo saw the scene outside the door , couldn't help taking a breath: "Those puppets outside the door..."

The painstaking efforts of the Third Young Master Mo are now lying outside the door in disarray. From a distance, they look like a hill made of various parts.The puppets pierced by a sword all revealed dark deep holes in their chests, and they were scattered outside the door in fragments, piling up the corridor in a mess.The exquisite face revealed a lifeless look, and the glazed eyes even rolled out of the eye sockets. The exquisite puppets that were once like strangers were revealed in front of their creators in this broken state.

The blow it brought was extremely heavy.

Mo Bin stared blankly at those masterpieces he had made, and at the current appearance of the puppets made by his own hands. He staggered two steps and fell to the ground, but he just sat quietly. Tears can't come out.Although these puppets were manipulated by others to attack them before, the third young master Mo couldn't accept this reality at all. Moreover, the "death condition" of these puppets was very similar to his father.

A hideous big hole was left in the chest, but the puppet couldn't bleed.

"Ziwen..." Bai Wangyan opened his mouth, but he knew that it was useless to say anything now, all words were so powerless in front of Mo Bin.

After being silent for a long time, Mo Bin finally opened his dry lips slowly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine." The third young master Mo now is completely different from the high-spirited look when he was going to show the two of them around Yanshi Pavilion. Man, his face showed a gray and decayed color, even his eyes lost their color, and the lights of the Tiange at night reflected his haggard face from a distance, even Bai Wangyan could hardly recognize this person It is my long-time friend Mo Ziwen.

The sound of dragging a heavy object gradually became clearer, Tao Mo couldn't help slowing down, and cautiously approached the source of the sound.He didn't know much about the internal structure of Yanshi Pavilion. When he entered Yanshi Pavilion for the first time, Mo Bin only took them to Ren Pavilion, and then he broke into Tian Pavilion by mistake. , Young Master Mo just took them on a tour. There are not only three pavilions of heaven, earth and man in this Yanshi pavilion, but there are also various puppet art classics in other rooms, but there are no isolated copies. The secret books are precious, so they are stored in unlocked rooms, and there are at least a dozen such rooms in Yanshi Pavilion.There are huge Yanshi Pavilions all over the ground of Senluo Villa, as well as secret roads that can reach all parts of the villa, while the surface of the lake is just the tip of the iceberg of Senluo Villa.

The candles at both ends were a little dim. Unlike the puppet corridors that I had passed through a few times before, the road here was narrower and quieter, so that the sound of dragging things was loud, and the sharp hard objects hit the ground. There was a piercing sound, and Tao Mo guessed that the man should be dragging a puppet, probably because the sharp parts of the puppet hit the ground to make such a sound.Continuing to walk to the depths of Yanshi Pavilion, he followed this person all the way, only felt that this person was very familiar with the interior of Yanshi Pavilion, and he groped for the door hidden in the darkness with ease.

Tao Mo thought to himself, he can't let this person run away, so he approached the person lightly and stabbed out with his sword.

But at this time, the mechanism turned and the secret door was opened. Before the man could react, he was stabbed in the shoulder by this sword. Something, he yelled angrily, the hard armor attached to the man was actually pierced by a sword, after that, the man struggled a few times, and after a loud shock, he fell to the ground.

Pulling out the sword, Tao Mo saw through the faint candlelight that what he had pierced was not a living person, but a puppet, but the puppet was covered with a layer of hard armor. He bent over to check the puppet Dragging something in his hand, at this moment, hurried footsteps came from behind.

"Tao Shaoxia, Tao Shaoxia?" The clear voice was exactly Bai Wangyan. At this time, the white-clothed scholar supported Third Young Master Mo with absent-minded eyes, and called Tao Mo's name in the winding corridor.Only then did Tao Mo raise his head and look in the direction where the voice came from, but he didn't respond in a hurry, he just clamped the sword in his hand to the neck of the puppet that was lying on the ground, and nailed the puppet to death. On the ground, after that, as if he was waiting, he just stood there holding the hilt of the sword tightly and standing in the secret passage.

In this silent corridor, with his extraordinary hearing ability, he could easily hear the footsteps of Bai Wangyan walking, but what surprised him was that the footsteps of the white-clothed scholar suddenly became softer. Such as Bai Yu, but he can be sure that the other party is definitely not standing still.In this short silence, the footsteps suddenly became clear again, as heavy as ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and the white-clothed scholar gradually approached Tao Mo's position.After a while, Bai Wangyan's white clothes, which were particularly conspicuous in the darkness, appeared in Tao Mo's field of vision. He carefully supported the slumped Young Master Mo, and just wanted to raise his head to continue calling Tao Mo's name, but suddenly The moment he raised his head, he met Tao Mo's eyes.

Immediately showing the joy of regaining what was lost, Bai Wangyan walked over quickly, and asked first, "Tao Shaoxia, are you okay?" At the same time as he asked this sentence, he walked up to Tao Mo, carefully scrutinizing whether the other party was healthy or not. He was injured, and when Tao Mo was safe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tao Mo waved his hand, and he pulled the long sword from the shoulder of the puppet that fell on the ground: "I caught it."

"This is a puppet?" Bai Wangyan looked at the puppet lying at Tao Mo's feet in amazement. At this moment, the puppet was motionless, like a pile of broken copper and iron, but Bai Wangyan saw it The puppet suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw the wound on his shoulder, "Ziwen, take a look at this."
