God of Wealth is by your side

Chapter 34: Puppetry

Jin Yuanbao was stunned, then looked at Huo Mingcheng, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huo Mingcheng didn't answer, but just looked at him with those dark eyes.

Jin Yuanbao was stared at by him, for some reason he suddenly felt a little shy, couldn't help avoiding his gaze, and asked, "Are you...do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Huo Mingcheng looked at him burningly, but he didn't answer the question: "Yuan Bao, I was so worried about you just now, afraid that you would come back, that you would get hurt..."

"How can I have something to do! I'm the little fairy, even if he dies, I won't die..." Jin Yuanbao raised his head, but bumped into a pair of deep and gentle black eyes. The tear mole under his left eye It became more and more eye-catching, Jin Yuanbao only felt that Huo Mingcheng's eyebrows seemed to have a special attraction, which made him want to look more, but he didn't dare to look at it. This was the first time since he came down to earth. Some feelings, a little strange but not uncomfortable.

"Yuanbao..." Huo Mingcheng pulled him, Jin Yuanbao was caught off guard, and fell down on his chest, a pair of big and round black eyes stared straight at him, full of incomprehension and innocence .Huo Mingcheng couldn't help it, and stretched out his hand to his cheek, and just about to touch it, he heard a knock on the door outside:

"Eldest young master, are you better? Grandpa asked you to go to worship your ancestors." It was Huo Long's voice.

"Okay." Huo Mingcheng felt a little pity, but after thinking about the long days to come, he was relieved, smiled at Jin Yuanbao, and said, "Yuanbao, can I go there?"

Jin Yuanbao hurriedly got up from him, and asked with concern: "Are you really okay? Don't try to be brave, you are..."

"Okay, it's okay." Huo Mingcheng touched his head with a smile, "If you keep nagging, you will become an old man." Then he said, "Help me up, I'll put on my coat and go."

"Oh." Jin Yuanbao helped him get up, and helped him tear off all the talisman papers on his chest that were used to gather the sun. Seeing that he seemed to be putting on his clothes easily, he felt relieved.

Presumably, the appearance just now was due to the forcible removal of yang energy, so the soul could not bear it. Now that the yang energy has returned, it will be fine.

Jin Yuanbao asked Huo Long to support Huo Mingcheng to worship his ancestors, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to attend. If he went, those ancestors would probably salute him again.But it was almost noon now, and he had nowhere to go, so he simply went to the flower hall.

The flower hall is next to the main hall of the Huo family. Sometimes the Huo family entertained guests here. At this time, Zhang Yingling, his disciples and the monks from Qixia Temple were resting.

Seeing Jin Yuanbao approaching, Zhang Yingling quickly stood up to greet him. This 30-year-old Taoist priest was wearing a light blue gown because he hadn't formally practiced it yet. He is kind, not as vicious as Zhang Tianshi of previous generations. "The disciple has seen the Immortal!"

Jin Yuanbao waved to him, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, then turned to look at several monks and disciples in Qixia Temple, and asked, "Is Master Kongyi's disciple here?"

A young monk in yellow robes and glasses among the monks heard the sound and walked a few steps forward, bowed to the gold ingot, and said, "Amitabha, this young monk is right, because the senior brother went to see a doctor with the master, and the young monk is here to stay." Here, I am waiting for all my fellow apprentices, and I am a fellow practitioner under the Dharma name, benevolent and courteous."

"Fellow practitioners, have you encountered any strange things since you set off today?" Jin Yuanbao wanted to find out who was behind the manipulation of Master Kong Yi, and if he wanted to find out who was behind the scenes, he had to find out from those two silver threads. It's impossible for these two silver threads to wrap around Master Kongyi's body for no reason, and it's also impossible for them to wrap up through the air, there must be some key.

The fellow cultivator recalled it for a while, then shook his head, and said: "No, today I waited for my brothers and master to have morning class together, and then we took the bus to Huo Mansion together. There was nothing strange along the way."

"No? Impossible." Jin Yuanbao frowned, "Perhaps the time can be brought forward to last night. Didn't anything unusual happen to your temple or your master? Your master was manipulated, it can't be There must be someone who is possessed by a ghost, and I think the key to finding out the other party is the person or thing that has had contact with your master..."

When Jin Yuanbao said this, Zhang Yingling who was behind him also spoke: "Just now I saw that you took a silver thread from the mage, and I think the other party probably used the puppet technique."

"Puppet art?"

"Yes." Zhang Yingling nodded, "There is a saying in ancient books: 'Carving wood and pulling silk to make an old man, the chicken skin and white hair are the same as the real one'". , but some evil warlocks changed it to control ghosts and monsters, and later directly used it to control people. However, this spell has extremely high requirements for the controller and the materials it possesses, so it has been lost for a long time... This person uses the silver thread to control Mage Kong Yi, most likely using the puppet technique."

Jin Yuanbao had been suspicious before, but after Zhang Yingling's explanation, he confirmed his guess even more.It's just that the other party knows both the soul-eating technique and the puppet technique, which shows that this person's morality is profound, but why does he attack himself again and again?

As he was thinking, a tall, thin young monk among the monks suddenly said:

"Master seems to have encountered something...but it wasn't today or last night, it was at noon yesterday."

"What's the matter?" Jin Yuanbao asked impatiently.

"Yesterday at noon, there were tourists coming in and out of the temple. I was accompanying Master at that time. I happened to be going to meet a visitor. On the road, I bumped into a young man who was walking recklessly. Don't say I'm sorry, just smile, I also said something at that time, it's really rude, the master also said that the other party is still young, don't be as knowledgeable as him..." The young monk said slowly.

Hearing this, Jin Yuanbao raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Yingling: "Is it possible to wrap the silver thread in such a short time?"

"It's possible." Zhang Yingling nodded, and said seriously, "This puppetry is very likely to be a combination of a special refined silver thread and a magic weapon, and the controller puts another magic weapon in his On the puppet, people can make people make the same movement language as the puppet... But this is just my guess, and I don't know the specifics."

After all, this kind of evil spell has been lost for a long time, and they don't even bother to learn it in the righteous way. It's normal that they don't know much about it.

Jin Yuanbao nodded and said, "I see."
